Abstract :
An electric analog of heat flow in alloyed-junction power transistors was constructed to facilitate a study of instantaneous crystal temperatures under various pulsed conditions. An equivalent Insertion transmission line using lumped constants was chosen as a suitable analog. The derivation of the transmission-line analog is given, along with construction and operating procedures. A short comparison of analog and experimental data is included.
