spurious nonuniformity specification

The spurious nonuniformity specification of the TC217 CCD grades – 30 and – 40 is based on several sensor

characteristics:

–

Black

–

White

The CCD sensors are characterized in both an illuminated condition and a dark condition. In the dark condition,

the nonuniformity is specified in terms of absolute amplitude as shown in Figure 14. In the illuminated condition,

the nonuniformity is specified as a percentage of the total illumination as shown in Figure 15.

The nonuniformity specification for the TC217 is as follows (CCD video-output signal is 50 mV

±10 mV):
