31. Ohmic losses of waveguides at microwave frequencies are therefore only dependent on the surface coating of the material.32. Non-ohmic contacts present a parasitic resistance to current flow that consumes energy and lowers device performance. 33. These " non-rectifying junctions " behave as ohmic contacts regardless of applied voltage polarity. 34. Reducing transport lengths ( the distance between the anode and cathode ) reduces ohmic losses ( resistance ). 35. IEC 60384-1 states that ohmic losses should be measured at the same frequency used to measure capacitance. 36. When the current is a linear function of the voltage, the device is said to have ohmic contacts. 37. I doubt skin is an ohmic conductor . talk ) 04 : 28, 4 February 2008 ( UTC) 38. The relationship between voltage and current is defined ( in ohmic devices like resistors ) by Ohm's Law. 39. At very high doping levels, the junction does not behave as a rectifier anymore and becomes an ohmic contact. 40. The paste is then fired at several hundred degrees Celsius to form metal electrodes in ohmic contact with the silicon.
