Resolution Theory for an Ideal Pickup Tube

摘要

A statistical communication theory is applied to the problem of determining threshold characteristics in ideal pickup tubes, making it possible to define more precisely and broaden the meaning of classical fluctuation formulas. The expressions derived reflect a clear quantitative connection between basic parameters in detection and resolution problems. This theory can serve as a basis for developing automatic methods and devices for the objective study of the effect of real television devices on resolving power.
