  2. Kelvin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin

    For electronics, the kelvin is used as an indicator of how noisy a circuit is in relation to an ultimate noise floor, i.e. the noise temperature. The Johnson–Nyquist noise of resistors (which produces an associated kTC noise when combined with capacitors ) is a type of thermal noise derived from the Boltzmann constant and can be used to ...

  3. Color temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

    The temperature of the ideal emitter that matches the color most closely is defined as the color temperature of the original visible light source. The color temperature scale describes only the color of light emitted by a light source, which may actually be at a different (and often much lower) temperature. [1] [2]

  4. Thermoelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_effect

    Seebeck effect in a thermopile made from iron and copper wires A thermoelectric circuit composed of materials of different Seebeck coefficients (p-doped and n-doped semiconductors), configured as a thermoelectric generator. If the load resistor at the bottom is replaced with a voltmeter, the circuit then functions as a temperature-sensing ...

  5. Silicon bandgap temperature sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_bandgap...

    A circuit that forces I C1 and I C2 to have a fixed N:1 ratio, [2] gives the relationship: = ⁡ An electronic circuit, such as the Brokaw bandgap reference, that measures ΔV BE can therefore be used to calculate the temperature of the diode. The result remains valid up to about 200 °C to 250 °C, when leakage currents become large enough to ...

  6. Correlated color temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlated_color_temperature

    A black body is characterized by its temperature and emits light of a specific hue, which is referred to as color temperature. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] In practice, light sources that approximate Planckian radiators, such as certain fluorescent or high-intensity discharge lamps, are assessed based on their CCT, which is the temperature of a Planckian ...

  7. Four-terminal sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing

    Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...

  9. Distributed temperature sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_temperature...

    Distributed temperature sensing systems (DTS) are optoelectronic devices which measure temperatures by means of optical fibres functioning as linear sensors. Temperatures are recorded along the optical sensor cable, thus not at points, but as a continuous profile. A high accuracy of temperature determination is achieved over great distances.
