Abstract

Signal processing in the element (SPRITE) detectors are analyzed in terms of their main spatial-frequency-dependent parameters of modulation transfer function (MTF) and a number of equivalent elements. It is found that MTF depends on the length of the SPRITE element. The enhancement of signal-to-noise ratio also depends upon the element length and can be expressed in terms of a number of equivalent elements.
