Theory[edit]
The left impedance is the signal generator which is generating enough power for 1 ampere.
This 1Amp. generates in the right impedance.
The current sensor has 1 ohm transfer impedance, this means 1 ampere generates 1 Volt on the measuring part below.
The power in the lower 50 ohm impedance is
