Digital binning method for CCD pixels and its applications
Scientific grade frame-transfer Charged Coupled Devices(CCDs) in a space-borne differential optical absorption spectrometer usually use a Pixel Binning (4-Binning)method to improve its Signal-to-Noise Ratios(SNRs). It is only suitable for the quite weak radiation. To allow the spectrometer to be used for stronger radiation and to expand its detection ability
a digital pixel binning method
4-AVR
was designed. Comparing to the 4-Binning method
this 4-AVR method brings the attenuation of CCD signals. Therefore
the attenuation was researched theoretically
and a signal attenuation coefficient 0.699 due to the CCD signal readout speed was obtained. Then
testing devices were built in the lab to get the data of pixel values of CCD in both 4-Binning and 4-AVR methods. The result shows that the attenuation coefficient of CCD pixel values is 0.698
which verifies the theoretical result. The experiment demonstrates that the coefficient can be used to correct the pixel values gained in the4-AVR method to implement the consistency of two methods. By taking the correction as a part of 1-B data processing
the tests of atmospheric trace gases were retrieved
and results indicate that the method ensures the quantitatively data of the space-borne spectrometer
