H. Sasaki et al., DETERMINATION OF THE TIME CONSTANTS OF THERMOELECTRIC EFFECTS IN THERMAL CONVERTERS USING A FAST-REVERSED DC, IEEE transactions on instrumentation and measurement, 46(2), 1997, pp. 377-381
A formula for determining the time-constants of thermoelectric effects
in thermal converters from the FRDC-dc transfer difference measuremen
ts in relation to the reversing frequency is derived, The error due to
higher-frequency harmonies in the FRDC-waveform is calculated for shu
nt capacitances and dielectric losses in the heater/range-resistor com
bination.
