spurious nonuniformity specification

The spurious nonuniformity specification of the TC281 CCD grade – 30 is based on several performance

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 6. In the illuminated condition,

the nonuniformity is specified as a percentage of the total amplitude, as shown in Figure 7.
