High-speed and small-dimension TDICCD focal plane assemblies (FPAs) for space remote sensing camera

This paper highlights a set of high data rate, small size and low power dissipation time delay integration charge couple device (TDICCD) focal plane assemblies (FPAs), which has good demand for higher resolution capability(GRD = 0.5 m) and has many good specifications: 1 TDICCD-FPA has high data rate of 16 MHz. 2 The size of TDICCD-FPA is 190*180*100 mm³. 3 The weight of TDICCD-FPA is 6 kg. 4 TDICCD-FPA working temperature is 0° C-10° C. 5 Low power dissipation is 25 W. 6 A/D is 10 bit. 7 Dynamic range is 3000:1. Also, from the angle of the design of space TDICCD cameras, it introduces how to design focal plane assemblies (FPAs) - including TDICCD field butt, FPAs machine design, electronic focal plane assemblies (EFPAs) video electronic signal processing unit (SPU), TDICCD FPAs temperature control. Two dynamic TDICCD imaging instruments are manufactured using the "push-broom" imaging principle, and their confident performances are also achieved.
