Abstract
A single, full‐sine‐wave current pulse, of zero average value, adiabatically heats a bridgewire. Due to the electrothermal nonlinearity of the temperature‐sensitive wire, a dc voltage which can be related to lumped heat capacity appears across the bridgewire. This dc signal can be readily extracted and interpreted.Keywords
