Calibration of Temperature Sensors in Dynamic and Steady-State Systems 19th Annual Arizona Space Grant Consortium Symposium Peter Kozak, UA/NASA Space Grant Mentor: Michael Sampogna April 17th, 2010
Objective To determine the temperature of the light emitting diodes (LEDs) from the temperature sensor (LM335) output. ST- LM335 F. M. Mims III, An Inexpensive and Accurate Student Sun Photometer with Light-Emitting Diodes as Spectrally Selective Detectors, Proceedings of the Third Annual GLOBE Conference, 232-239, August 1998.

Procedure -Steady vs. Dynamic Systems LED Temperature vs. Sensor Output
Steady State Analysis
Steady State Linear Regression For T < 287K, The error is approximately constant so the data points may be averaged. For T < 287K, Average Error = 1.66K Uncertainty (95%Confidence) = +/- 0.52 K
Dynamic State Analysis Transition to Steady-State: T = 300K Heating => <= Cooling
Conclusions Dynamic State (T < 300K) Steady State (T > 300K) Cooling: [T(LED) = 0.0071(Ts)^2 - 2.9794(Ts) + 535.19] (K) Heating: [T(LED) = -0.0029(Ts)^2 - 2.3137 (Ts) - 153.08] (K) Steady State (T > 300K) [T(LED) = 0.841(Ts) + 47.541] (K) Uncertainty U = +/- 0.52 K R = 0.97
