Fast Fourier transform Angstrom method for fast thermal measurements of microfibers

The & Aring;ngstrom method is a promising thermal diffusivity measurement method for microfibers. Based on the heat-loss & Aring;ngstrom method and micro-& Aring;ngstrom method, the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) & Aring;ngstrom method can be used to shorten the testing time and enhance the testing robustness of thermal conductivity. The FFT & Aring;ngstrom uses multi-frequency superimposed input signals and then uses the FFT for frequency division analysis. Since different frequencies are input at the same time, the measuring time is greatly reduced. Moreover, because different frequencies are input in the same environment, the random and environmental perturbations of the frequencies are the same, enhancing the fitting robustness. In contrast, the single feeding strategy is relatively time-consuming, and its measurement homogeneity for different frequencies cannot be guaranteed. By comparing the measurement results from a multi-frequency input and separated single-frequency input, the FFT shows good feasibility and robustness. It may also have great potential in other types of thermal wave measurements.

Automated summary

The FFT & Aring;ngstrom method utilizes multi-frequency superimposed input signals and FFT for frequency division analysis, which shortens the testing time and enhances the testing robustness of thermal conductivity. It shows good feasibility and robustness compared to the single feeding strategy.
