Products

Detectors and focal planes

• Electronic focal plane based on Multi-Element CCD and CCD-TDI detectors
• Multiple Arrays on one chip for multiple spectral bands and/or redundancy
• Optically butted for extended field of view using beam-sharers
• Dichroic beam-splitters and interference filters for spectral band definition
• Precise alignment to accuracies of 1-2 µm for perfect registration
• Low-noise amplifiers, correlated double sampling

Electronics

• Electronics for operation of detector units
• Signal handling, A/D conversion
• Multiplexing and handling of signals from multiple channels
• Non-Uniformity correction
• Compression, storage and transmission of data
• Antenna pointing and control
• Interface with satellite systems, control of operation of the payload
• Temperature control circuitry
