Abstract:

This paper presents the results of experimental studies of the characteristics of an on-board calibrator with an extended radiating surface for energy calibration of IR optoelectronic devices. Test-stand measurement equipment and methods of checking the characteristics of the calibrator are described. The main technical characteristics of the calibrator are a working spectral range of 2.0–12.5 μm, an area of the radiating surface of 320 mm×460 mm, and a temperature range from +7 to +55°C.
