Modelling Microbolometer Using Matlab/SIMULINK Package with Thermal Noise Sources

J. Nazdrowicz (Lodz Univ. of Techn., Poland)

A simple circuit model of microbolometer should be completed with many various sources, which negatively affects of its reliability. In this article author lists the most important noise sources and their potential impact on microbolometer operation. This knowledge should lessen or to avoid completely some kind of such noises during designing microbolometer.
