+  To characterize the system, several tests have been performed. The 
+  characteristics of interest are the following:
+    \begin{enumerate}
+        \item Efficiency
+        \item Noise
+        \item Ripple characteristics
+        \item Transients
+    \end{enumerate}
 
-    \section{Results}
-    \subfile{sections/results.tex}
+  Each of these characteristics have been tested at two different output voltages
+  and load currents. The different voltages are $7V$ and $3.3V$. The chosen load
+  currents are $10$, $20$, $30$, $40$ and $50 mA$. These values were chosen to 
+  give characterize the circuit over a broad range of conditions.
