4.8 Waveform Sensitivity
Thermal sensors are insensitive to the waveform because they average RF power over many tens of milliseconds. Modulated
signals, non-sinusoidal waveforms, and even pulses can be detected without distortion of the measurement. Thermal sensors
are referred to as RMS responding.
