I believe the change in energy is converted to an electrical signal that is displayed in units of temperature after being compensated for ambient temperature variation.

I have a basic knowledge of how they work: Objects with temperatures above zero kelvin emit electromagnetic radiation in the form of waves, the radiation between 0.7umm and 20umm is collected by the lens of the thermometer which is then focused onto the sensor. The output is an electrical...

I am designing a tyre temp monitoring system for my Final year project and I would like to know if it is possible to somehow modify a infrared phototransistor to be able to measure an objects temperature in a range of -20 - 120 C. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
