Abstract :
The thermal structure function permits to have an insight in the thermal pathflow of electronic components. In this work the sensitivity to noise of this technique is analyzed. For this purpose, a homogeneous slab of material is considered, since for this case the exact time constant spectrum is known. Results show that the thermal structure function is very sensitive to noise in the thermal transient
