PyRth documentation
PyRth is a Python package for analyzing thermal transient measurements using Network Identification by Deconvolution (NID) methods as well as optimization approaches. It enables thermal characterization of electronic components and systems through time constant spectrum and structure function analysis.
The documentation provides a comprehensive guide to using the PyRth package, including installation instructions, usage examples, a guide for performing thermal transient analysis, and detailed API references. For those interested in the mathematical foundations, the theory section explains the algorithms and methods implemented in PyRth, including deconvolution methods, network construction, structure function algorithms, and optimization techniques.
If you spot any issues or have suggestions for improvements, please feel free to open an issue on the GitHub repository. We welcome contributions and feedback from the community.
