A COLLECTION OF PAPERS RELATIVE TO THE DESIGN AND DATA ANALYSIS OF THE PERSEAS SYSTEM,
Abstract
In the paper 'On the General Field Illumination in the Focal Plane of A Camera Lens in Daylight,' an attempt is made to compute the illumination at the focal plane of a camera lens. With some assumptions made about the distance and power of a source whose image is to be detected, a ratio S/B (signal-to-background) is computed for the specific case in which the focal plane is scanned by a slit which admits a fraction of the total illumination to a photosensitive element. A paper 'A Comparison of Signal-to-Background Power for Changes in the Number of Slits, in the Number of Detectors, and in the Width and Length of the Slits in a Data Frame' extends the S/B power ratio, to include the basic design parameters of number of slits, number of detectors, and the dimensions of the slits. A paper 'Data Reduction for PERSEAS II' develops an expression to give the actual azimuth angle in PERSEAS coordinates in terms of the data available from the PERSEAS system. A paper entitled 'Intensity of Reflected Radiation From a Cone' deals with the optical reflection from a conically shaped object. An expression is obtained for the intensity of reflected radiation as a function of range.
