A STUDY OF THE RADIATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF SHIELDED INFRARED SOURCES

Abstract

An account is presented of an experimental mea surements program and an empirical formulation for determining the radiative characteristics of shielded infrared sources. Included is a detailed description of the apparatus and instru mentation used in the experimental program and the computer programs for predicting radiant intensity as a function of aspect angle. The results of the empirical formulation when com pared with the experimental measurements clearly indicate the feasibility of this method.
