ABSTRACT:
A charge coupled distributed amplifier comprises a first plurality of charge storage wells arranged along a first selected line, a second plurality of charge storage wells arranged along a second selected line, and a multiplicity of amplifier means, each amplifier means electrically coupling one charge storage well in the first plurality of wells to a corresponding charge storage well in the second plurality of wells. Charges are driven along the first and second pluralities of charge storage wells in synchronization. The same charge in the first plurality of charge storage wells creates an additional increment of charge in each charge storage well connected to the output of each amplifier means which adds in that well to the previously accumulated charge in the second plurality of charge storage wells. Thus a given amount of input charge is amplified coherently to produce a detectable output signal.
