Abstract

A 256 X 256 suspended resistor infrared scene generator system is being constructed. The system consists of a high technology core device which generates the infrared radiation and three conventional technology peripheral subsystems. At the time of writing, measurements have been made of the critical core device component parts, i.e., the transistor drive backplane and the suspended resistor superstructure separately, measurements of the complete integrated system have yet to be completed. Measurements of performance are presented and brief subsystem descriptions are included to aid in understanding of the overall system.
