1 TARIFF AN UNCOOLED INFRARED DETECTOR Technical Area This invention allows for image resolution of 5 degrees in response to temperature changes within or outside the system. with an uncooled infrared detector that ensures its performance is not affected It is related. Previous Technique Uncooled infrared detectors, cooled infrared 10 because they are simpler, more compact and less expensive compared to detectors It is preferred in many applications. However, it is used in refrigerated detectors. Low thermal noise and high performance are achieved thanks to cryogenic cooling systems. These sensitivity levels are difficult to achieve with uncooled detectors. Uncooled The basic principle of infrared detectors is that the detector material absorbs the incoming infrared radiation. absorbing radiation and the temperature changes caused by this radiation This is the detection method. These types of detectors are generally bolometer, pyroelectric, and thermoelectric. It is based on principles. However, these technologies work at ambient temperature. Therefore, they are more sensitive to thermal noise, and this situation affects the detectors. It limits its performance. 20 In previous techniques, to improve the performance of uncooled infrared detectors Generally, the material properties of the detector have been improved and the optical systems have been optimized. Improvements have been made to electronic circuit designs. With this... together, thermal insulation minimizes heat transfer from the detector surface to the environment. 25 Structures and precision signal processing methods are also commonly used approaches. However, these solutions are compared with cooled detectors. It generally provides only a limited increase in sensitivity. Uncooled infrared. ambient temperature which causes detectors to operate with low sensitivity The resulting thermal noise reduces image quality and performance. 30 2 In uncooled infrared detectors, in low / high temperature conditions, sudden environmental changes in temperature changes, the internal temperature of the system into which it is integrated changes (temperature changes of the covering flag in front, behind it) temperature changes occurring in components on electronic boards, etc.); Due to changes in detector responsiveness, image performance is 5. It can be negatively affected. In the current state of the art, these drawbacks can be overcome through various methods. Research is being conducted into some of these methods in detector manufacturing. Improvements were made to the detectors' performance, such as NETD and MTF. Improving parameters, software improvements, and the process of inspecting the detector. Creating a mechanical model compatible with the objective, using ASIC-like technologies. There are many things that need to be done in hardware such as digital processing boards by taking advantage of them. By embedding the process within the FPGA, a compact design and better heat control are achieved. The goal is to create modules that provide this. Designed as monolithic / integrated modules, 15 In the current modules, the shutter and detector are left exposed. In the known state of the technology, problems such as glare and other unwanted issues can occur in the image. When situations arise, they are run within intelligent units such as digital processing boards, etc. Image distortion is corrected with software and IOP parameter settings. 20 Studies are being conducted. The effects of thermal changes in the shutter flag are shown in the image. It can be seen. In the current state of the art, customized, cross-functional, as in the relevant model. Optimal heat dissipation using air circulation with a discontinuous heat emitter design. 25 No model providing this has been found, and the module that is the subject of this invention is discrete. In addition to maximized heat dissipation performance, its design also offers a lightweight solution. It can create both the components behind the detector and the device's interface. a structure that will encompass the components in the region, and the heat produced in these regions 30 by turbulent flow that will ensure removal without being transmitted to the detector area 3 with special, cross-fin designs that increase heat dissipation through maximum air circulation It has made a difference.

Another objective of this invention is to achieve turbulent heat dissipation, either within or outside the system. The goal is to create an uncooled infrared detector that provides airflow. 10 The first step taken to achieve the purpose of this invention, and the steps associated with that step...

The housing is mounted on... electronic circuit boards are installed and the housing surrounds the electronic circuit board. There is at least one side wall that wraps around at an angle of approximately 90 degrees, and the word The subject is a side fin placed on the side wall. The heat is transmitted through the electronic circuit board. It primarily transfers heat to the fuselage and from the fuselage to the side walls. 20 The heat from the side walls escapes from the environment through the side walls located on top of the side wall. It is thrown onto the body and almost partially parallel to the electronic board. a back positioned in such a way as to cover the electronic circuit board A cover is included. At least one notched fin is positioned on the rear cover. The segmented fin design allows heat transferred from the electronic circuit board to reach the back cover, preventing it from hitting the back cover's 25° By increasing the surface area, it allows ejection from the back cover.
