Lead resistances with basically the same resistance and contact resistances with different resistances have a significant impact on the test accuracy of the resistive sensor array

As far as the shared row and column resistive sensor array based on the equipotential method is concerned, the lead resistance and contact resistance lead to the potential difference between the test circuit driving terminal and the resistive sensor array module driving terminal, and also cause the test circuit sampling terminal to resist. The potential difference between the sampling terminals of the sensor array module destroys the ideal isolation feedback condition of the test circuit and increases the resistance measurement error of the unit under test.

Therefore, basically the same connection cable lead resistance and different cable joint contact resistance have a significant impact on the test results of the shared row and column resistive sensor array based on the equipotential method. Affects the measurement error of the unit under test, how to eliminate the influence of these factors is a problem that needs further study
