Normalized Detectivity Formula Elements

Variables
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.
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.
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.
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.

How to Evaluate Normalized Detectivity?

Normalized Detectivity evaluator uses Normalized Detectivity = (Detector Area*Noise Equivalent Bandwidth)^0.5*Transducer Detectivity to evaluate the Normalized Detectivity, The Normalized Detectivity formula is defined as the overall detectivity of the detection system, accounting for both the properties of the detector and the sensitivity of the transducer. Normalized Detectivity is denoted by Dn symbol.

How to evaluate Normalized Detectivity using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Normalized Detectivity, enter Detector Area (A), Noise Equivalent Bandwidth (Δf) & Transducer Detectivity (Dt) and hit the calculate button.
