The Complete Deconvolution Procedure

In this procedure, the phase lag is used to calculate the in- and out-of-phase components of the cyclic heat capacity. Viz 

C cos (j) = phase-corrected reversing heat capacity = CpPCR (18) C sin 0 = kinetic heat capacity = CpK (19) 

In reality, the phase angle cannot usually be used directly. A baseline correction is required. This is dealt with in the calibration section below. 

The complete deconvolution then proceeds in the same way as for the simple deconvolution, except that the phase-corrected reversing heat capacity is used instead of the reversing heat capacity. Thus 

all of the signals can also be expressed as heat flows.
