| Summary: | This is the first book on radiometry in almost twenty years. It incorporates the latest advances and techniques, notably the application of Mathcad to radiometric calculations. It reviews the theory of emission, absorption, transmission and reflection in traditional and innovative ways. It shows the errors that might accrue from the use of normalization and explains accuracy and precision. It describes the classical ways to measure reflectivity, emissivity, radiation and temperature and provides for the first time the relation between emissivity and temperature error. It describes the electrical substitution and internal calibration radiometers and gives examples of their calibration and accuracy. It establishes the limits of the Gouffé method of cavity evaluation and provides detailed calculations of the various forms of the Planck equation and its variation with temperature. There are 26 executable examples of radiometric calculations ranging from human detection of ballistic missiles and mosquito detection of humans to sidewinder snakes detecting their prey and Sidewinder missiles detecting theirs. It is applicable for a senior or first year graduate or extended learning class. It uses only algebra, trig and basic differential and integral calculus. |
