Area of Detector Formula Elements

Variables
Detector Area
Detector Area refers to the surface area of a sensor or detector that is exposed to incoming signals or particles. It influences the detection efficiency and sensitivity of the device.
Symbol: A
Measurement: AreaUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Normalized Detectivity
Normalized Detectivity is used to evaluate the performance of a photodetector. It combines sensitivity and noise characteristics, providing a measure of detection capability across different devices.
Symbol: Dn
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Transducer Detectivity
Transducer Detectivity is the detectivity normalized to a unit detector area and detection bandwidth.
Symbol: Dt
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Noise Equivalent Bandwidth
Noise Equivalent Bandwidth represents the bandwidth of an ideal filter that would pass the same noise power as the transducer, affecting its signal-to-noise ratio.
Symbol: Δf
Measurement: FrequencyUnit: Hz
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
