Optimal Sensitivity of the general Wheatstone Bridge

The paper derives a mathematical formula to find the best configuration for a Wheatstone bridge when source and detector resistances are finite. It optimizes the bridge settings by maximizing sensitivity (SRx) against an unknown resistance (Rx), showing that the optimal setup depends on Rx. The result leads to an ideal configuration that performs better than the standard equal-arm design under specific conditions.
