This paper presents a rearranged electrical circuit for a constant temperature anemometer (CTA), along with details of calibration results and velocity measurement results for a plane jet and square jet that were obtained by using the rearranged CTA. In this rearranged CTA, the ratio of the electrical resistance of the Wheatstone bridge was set at one, and the feedback circuit used two operational amplifiers whose gain-bandwidth product and slew rate were 110 MHz and , respectively. The results of a frequency response test showed that the roll-off frequency of the rearranged CTA was 20 kHz for a hot-wire and 40 kHz for a hot-wire, given a free stream flow velocity of 20 m/s; those of a basic CTA were 5 kHz and 6 kHz, respectively. It was also found that the energy spectra measured by the rearranged CTA yielded a power spectrum that agreed with the profile derived numerically from the Lagrangian direct-interaction approximation (LDIA) theory in the range of non-dimensional wave numbers smaller than 0.5. These results indicate that the rearranged CTA could be used for more accurate investigations of fine-scale structures in turbulent flows. Further, the profile obtained by the LDIA theory was valid and useful for discussing the turbulent flows.
