#99725 - Do some research
Responding to: ???'s previous message

The bulb technique has been used for many years for RF - so I think 80kHz is not an issue. Obviously thermal inertia needs to be factored in, but is not insurmountable. If you make a test rig, I'm sure you will be able to characterise the device and get reliable readings from it.

I'm sure Analog Devices has some parts that will work at 80kHz. So don't reject these suggestions without doing some research. Think laterally. The solution to your problem may be simpler than you think.

This device is good for 450kHz:

Think carefully about your problem and what you're trying to measure. Make a test rig to simulate the waveform you're trying to measure (scaled down) and try the different techniques suggested. I'm sure you will, at the very minumum, come to understand your problem. You could also get a digitised sample of the real waveform and perform maths on it to come up with the theorectical rms value to compare with your measurements.
