Assortment of optimal conditions for running the impulse diode thermometer

In the algorithm for iterative evaluation of temperature measured by the p‐n junction in the impulse regime two voltages appear as parameters. Their values are limited only by the operating characteristics of the impulse diode thermometer, i.e., both values must fall within the interval determined by the hardware normal operating conditions. The choice of these values within the allowed interval seems to be arbitrary; however, analysis of the expression for relative measurement errors leads to the criterion for the optimal choice of these parameters that allow the impulse diode thermometer to operate with the maximal resolution and minimal error.
