This paper establishes the response model of microbolometer through researching the detection theory of microbolometer and the heat balance equation under the condition of the pulsed voltage bias. In the establishing process, we simplified the heat balance equation to acquire a simple answer. The experimental data show that, in the temperature dynamic range of 30 K, the biggest tolerance between the model data and the experiment data is 0.2 K; while in the temperature dynamic range of 100 K, it is 1 K. This model can reflect the real response of the microbolometer with only small differences which are acceptable in engineering applications.展开更多

The circuit proposed by this article can relax the restriction on the substrate temperature and perform nonuniformity correction when reading out the image signal. The dummy pixels reduce static current. And the Column shared DACs transfer correction data to the gates of MOS transistors and the positive reference edge of amplifier, to control the bias current of detector and dummy one, and set the start point of integration. This circuit has higher sensitivity, wider dynamic range, and frame frequency of more than 30 Hz for 128×128 array. PSPICE simulation results seem that this circuit functions well.展开更多

The proposed TIA employs a modified regulated cascode （RGC） configuration as input stage, and adopts a third order interleaving active feedback gain stage. The LA utilizes nested active feedback, negative capacitance, and inductor peaking technology to achieve high voltage gain and wide bandwidth. The tiny photo current received by the receiver AFE is amplified to a single-ended voltage swing of 200 mV（p-p）. Simulation results show that the receiver AFE provides conversion gain of up to 83 dBΩ and bandwidth of 34.7 GHz, and the equivalent input noise current integrated from 1 MHz to 30 GHz is about 6.6 μA（rms）.展开更多
