ABSTRACT:
A charge transport apparatus for use in a signal information system (10) is disclosed. The apparatus includes a detector (18), having a number of radiation sensitive elements (24), for receiving a radiation signal (14) and generating electrical charge responsive to the received signal (14). The resulting charge is conveyed to a readout port area (32) by impressing a stepped potential gradient or a potential field with a varying sweep rate on the detector (18). The stepped potential gradient or variably swept potential field is communicated to the detector (18) via underlying tines (38).
