ABSTRACT:
Electrothermal conversion elements, apparatus and methods for use in comparing, calibrating and measuring electrical signals. The element emits IR radiation in response to electrical input. The radiation is collected and converted to an electrical signal proportional to the RMS value of the input signal. Isothermal operation enhances both IR and electrical operation.
