Charged Coupled Devices
2022-06-01 12:08:10.0 [tstevens] update Definition (A charge-coupled device (CCD) is an integrated circuit containing an array of linked, or coupled, capacitors. Under the control of an external circuit, each capacitor can transfer its electric charge to a neighboring capacitor. CCD sensors are a major technology used in digital imaging. The EPIC instrument consists of a 2048x2048 charge-coupled device (CCD) attached to a 30cm f/9.6 Cassegrain telescope. Using a filter wheel, it samples at 10 channel narrow-band ranges from 317.5nm to 780nm. These bands provide the ability to generate a variety of science products, including ozone, sulfur dioxide, aerosols, vegetation, and cloud height.);
