Title :
Thermal Characterization of Microwave Power FETs Using Nematic Liquid Crystals
Abstract :
A method of measuring the thermal characteristics of microwave power FETs using temperature sensitive nematic liquid crystals is described. Measurements performed using this technique show thermal resistance not to be invariant, as often assumed.
