ORIGIN TASK 1

1. Your evaluation must contain:

a) our diagrams for T vs. P measurements with thermal camera and multimeter; choose
an appropriate scale that allows comparison at one glance.

b) Calculate Rt for each substrate and measurement method, summarize it in a table.

c) Discuss possible measurement influences and sources of error.

Thermography Data Table(for all substrates)

a) Evaluation: Graphs for T vs. P measurements with thermal camera and multimeter for
different substrates.

III. LTCC
IV. Thick Film

The above provided graphs represents T versus P plot for different substrates whose
temperatures at various instances are being measured using a thermo camera and a multi
meter respectively. For ease, the scales are appropriately chosen.
b) Calculated values of Rth for the substrates and measurement method, summarized in a
table.

c) Discuss possible measurement influences and sources of error.

POSSIBLE MEASUREMENT INFLUENCES ARE:
1. Ambient Temperature: According to the linear regression equation of the 35 ◦C
group, assuming that the change in ambient temperature reaches 20 ◦C, the corresponding
measured temperature variation can exceed 5 ◦C
Measuring Distance:Tests have shown a strong negative linear correlation
between the measuring distance and the measured temperature.

3. Wind and Heating Up Effects

A higher wind speed level brought greater impact on the temperature observations. Different
wind speeds had similar effects on the temperature measurements and housing temperature.

Similar to wind tests, the heating-up treatments also made a big difference to the measured
temperature. In the process, the increase in the measured temperature could achieve higher
than 7 ◦C. However, it was not possible to determine how long it would take for the thermal
effects on temperature observations to be maximized, because the duration of the heating
treatments was not long enough.
SOURCES OF ERRORS :
• Sensor calibration and accuracy
• Faulty amplifier
• Faulty lead wire
• Faulty electrical composition
• Emissivity
• Radiation
• Conduction.

INFERENCE :
It is thereby visible that for the same substrate there is always a chance of different
reading if measured using thermo camera and multi meter in the same conditions.
All the measurements are governed by certain factors which are provided in the above part
and are also viable to change due to errors.
