Science has marched on despite the appearance of the original "Figures of Merit" [18]. The purpose of this survey is to bring the community up to date on the most recent bounds, so that we may collaborate to improve them.

EE4: Figures-of-merit on trial
2018 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference - (ISSCC), 2018Mixed-signal/RF circuits are characterized by a wide variety of performance parameters and diverse functionality. Afigure of merit (FOM) provides a unique, simple and objective metric that allows normalizing and comparing circuits and systems of the same class. On the other hand, does the minimalistic simplicity of any single metric sacrifice more than

ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review, 1975
Since Merrill proposed a Figure of Merit (FOM) for use in interpretation of the Kiviat Graph (KG), the FOM has found its way into at least one computer program to plot those graphs, and has been the subject of further discussion and amplification and has had alternate computation methods proposed and rebutted.

SPIE Proceedings, 1986
Minimum Resolvable Temperature Difference (MRTD) is an invaluable tool in designing and testing infrared sensors and is to a lesser extent valuable in predicting field performance. The history of MRTD use is briefly reviewed and some shortcomings of MRTD are noted especially in the discrepancies between predicted and tested performance in the ...

A figure of merit for digital filters
ICASSP '78. IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2005The combined effects of amplitude quantization are brought together in such a way that the designer can readily choose cost effective word lengths for his A-D converter and digital filter. A degradation factor is suggested which relates the performance of the digital circuit to its analog counterpart in terms of the filter's frequency transfer ...

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1997
AbstractWe develop a figure of merit for SETI observations which is anexplicitfunction of the EIRP of the transmitters, which allows us to treat sky surveys and targeted searches on the same footing. For each EIRP, we calculate the product of terms measuring the number of stars within detection range, the range of frequencies searched, and the number ...

Transducer figure of merit (L)
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2012An alternative formula for determining the volume-referenced, projector-transducer figure of merit, FOMv, is developed allowing an evaluation based on well known parameters that may be readily calculated or measured. This formula is also reduced to the special case of piezoelectric or magnetostrictive materials, allowing a FOMv comparison of transducer

Figure of merit for thermoelectrics
Journal of Applied Physics, 1989Theoretical calculations are presented for the figure of merit Z in thermoelectrics. The maximum values of Z are obtained in semiconductors which are doped so that the chemical potential is near the band edge. The highest Z is related to the B parameter of Chasmar and Stratton [J. Electron. Control 7, 52 (1959)].

Figures of merit are values that denote the benefit of key material properties in terms of mechanical and thermal performance. Mechanical figures of merit relate to stiffness, strength, and mass. The stiffness of a material is proportional to its elastic modulus E, while the mass of a material is proportional to its density ρ.

To analyze, quantify, and compare the performance of infrared (IR) imaging devices, such as various types of focal plane arrays (FPAs), it is essential to have an in-depth understanding of their figures of merit. In this entry, we discuss a series of figures of merit that are applicable to both cooled and uncooled IR detectors and systems. We provide a
