    摘要: A system and method for building energy-related changes evaluation with the aid of a digital computer are provided. Obtained is a total amount of fuel purchased for a building over a set period from which an existing amount of the fuel consumed for space heating is derived. Characteristics including thermal performance and furnace and delivery efficiencies of the building for both existing and proposed equipment are obtained, including remotely controlling a heating source inside the building. The thermal performance and furnace and delivery efficiencies characteristics of the existing and proposed equipment are expressed as interrelated ratios. An amount of fuel to be consumed for space heating is evaluated as a function of the existing amount of the fuel consumed for space heating and the ratios of the existing and proposed equipment.

    摘要: A coaxial power sensor assembly configured to provide a broadband matched termination utilizing coplanar waveguide topology while simultaneously providing a source of heat energy for a surface mount chip thermistor element to measure applied input power. The coaxial thermal power sensor is comprised of a thin film resistive device on a dielectric substrate and a surface mount chip thermistor element placed in close planar proximity to the resistive device in order to maximize the heat flux via a closely coupled thermal path to the thermistor and alter the bias current through the resistance to be measured. The power sensor is intended to function from DC to 70 GHz, but the same should not be construed as a limitation.

    摘要: Disclosed is a radio frequency (RF) power calorimeter having a load electrically coupled to a RF input, a variable low-frequency power source electrically coupled to the load and configured to apply low-frequency bias to the load. The RF power calorimeter includes a thermal medium thermally coupled to the load. Additionally, the RF power calorimeter includes an outlet temperature sensor thermally coupled to the thermal medium, the outlet temperature sensor being positioned to measure the temperature of the thermal medium due to heating by the load. The RF power calorimeter also has circuitry configured to use temperature measurements of the thermal medium in thermal contact with an RF load in combination with the low-frequency bias to measure average power of an RF source electrically coupled to the RF input. Also disclosed in a method of measuring RF power using the RF power calorimeter.
