Abstract
The present invention relates to a multilinear charge transfer array having N rows of P detectors, each row successively receiving the radiation to be detected, an interface connecting the detectors to a group of charge transfer shift registers constituted by a first register with parallel inputs and series outputs having N.times.P stages separated into groups of N stages, in which each stage is connected to a detector of the same position of different rows, said register effecting the time delay and summation of the information and by a second register with parallel inputs and series outputs with N.times.P stages, communicating with the first register every N stages, the second register transferring the summated charges to a reading stage giving at the output solely a signal corresponding to the sum of the information collected on the detectors occupying the same position on the various rows.
