DIGITAL TIMING RATE BUFFERING FOR THERMAL STABILITY OF UNCOOLED DETECTORS

摘要

A system ( 100 ) and method for outputting data from a detector ( 104 ). The novel system ( 100 ) includes a first controller ( 118 ) that samples the detector ( 104 ) at a first rate, a memory ( 112 ) for storing the sampled data, and a second controller ( 120 ) that outputs data from the memory ( 112 ) at a second rate. In a illustrative embodiment, the first rate is symmetrical from field to field, while the second rate is asymmetrical from field to field.
