This paper presents a new methodology to experimentally determine these parameters from observable variables obtained from temperature, voltage, and electric current measurements made on a working TE device. Calculated parameters are plotted against the module's average temperature. Results are verified by inserting the average-value parameters into an electrothermal SPICE model of a TEM and comparing simulation and measured results for a given test configuration.Read More
