The peristaltic charge coupled device

Abstract

Starting from the basic transfer principle the operation of the peristaltic charge coupled device is described. Theoretically and experimentally this device is shown to be the most promising of charge transfer devices in terms of charge handling capability, charge transfer inefficiency (ε ≈ 5. 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-5</sup> ) and operating frequency (f> 100 MHz).
