Abstract :
The RF-DC differences of thermal voltage converters (TVCs) caused by the skin effect and transmission line effects of input structures of different length have been previously studied. Discrepancies have been found to exist between simple mathematical models and measured results for commonly used input connectors. A study of these discrepancies is reported. In particular, the change in RF-DC difference for a 0.5-V TVC resulting from the insertion of a 10-cm air line is evaluated.<>
