  • Abstract
    The modified design of the multijunction thermal converter (MJTC) enables the output voltage to be made proportional to the square of the heater current, reduces the internal resistance, and restricts the convective loss of heat by mounting the functional element in xenon. It therefore provides an important advance in performance with an easier form of construction.
