Abstract:
Embodiments described herein provide a method in a thermal model based estimator and a thermal model based estimator for estimating a temperature of a transducer. The method comprises receiving a first signal wherein the first signal is representative of an impedance across the transducer; receiving an indication of a current across the transducer; determining an estimated thermal power based on the indication of the current and an estimated temperature signal, determining, based on the estimated thermal power, the estimated temperature signal using a thermal model of the transducer comprising states defined by a thermal state vector; comparing the first signal with a second signal derived from the estimated temperature signal; updating the thermal state vector of the thermal model based on the comparison; and; outputting the estimated temperature signal.

Claim (Index 20):
The thermal model based estimator of  claim 19  wherein the second signal comprises an estimate of the voltage across the transducer based on the indication of the current and the estimated temperature signal.
