The use of electrical transmission line theory to predict the performance of spacecraft radiators

The cascade algorithm that is used for extended surface analysis depends on a new parameterization called the thermal transmission matrix to represent a single fin. This thermal transmission matrix, which is intended to replace the more familiar fin efficiency as a design and analysis parameterizati...
