Student Independent Research Project : Evaluation of Thermal Voltage Converters Low-Frequency Errors

This paper describes a student independent research project. The project task was to evaluate the low frequency errors of Thermal Voltage Converters (TVCs). A method to evaluate the low frequency errors of TVCs has been developed ([ 1], [2]). This method is based on measurements of the dc transfer function and time constant of the tested TVC. The error analysis is performed in the frequency domain. The first phase of the student project was to confirm the developed method by generating MATLAB simulation based on the publications [l] and [2]. The project’s second phase was to analyze the TVC errors in the time domain and compare the results.
