Abstract:In this work, the transient responses of a heated infrared (IR) temperature sensor were investigated to improve the reliability of determined target temperatures obtained from IR-based medical thermometers. A medical-grade IR temperature sensor was heated at the lower edge of the sidewall of the sensor. To reduce the uncertainty due to the conversion factor of the thermal detector, the temperature of the target, which was a thermostatted blackbody source, was determined when the observed target temperature and… Show more
