Abstract:
An infrared sensor assembly for sensing infrared radiation comprises infrared sensing elements and the infrared sensing compensation elements that are different so that, for a same flux on the infrared sensing elements and the infrared sensing compensation elements, the radiation responsive element of the infrared sensing elements absorbs more radiation than the radiation responsive element of the infrared sensing compensation elements, as to receive substantially more radiation than the radiation responsive element of the infrared sensing compensation elements. An output of the sensor array is a subtractive function of a sum of the signals of the plurality of infrared sensing elements and a sum of the signals of the plurality of the infrared sensing compensation elements such that at least linear and/or non-linear parasitic thermal fluxes are at least partly compensated for.

Claim (Index 19):
A method for sensing an infrared signal from an object using an array comprising a plurality of infrared sensing elements, the method comprising:\n sensing a signal using at least two infrared sensing elements comprising a radiation response element providing a proportionate electrical signal in response to infrared radiation incident thereto; sensing a signal using at least two infrared sensing compensation elements interspersed among the at least two sensing elements, each of said two infrared sensing compensation elements having a radiation responsive element providing a proportionate electrical signal in response to infrared radiation incident thereto and responsive to parasitic thermal fluxes, wherein the infrared sensing elements and the infrared sensing compensation elements are being different so that, for a same flux on the infrared sensing elements and the infrared sensing compensation elements, the radiation responsive element of the infrared sensing elements absorbs more radiation than the radiation responsive element of the infrared sensing compensation elements, and the method furthermore comprising processing the signals such that the output of the sensor array is a subtractive function of a sum of signals of the plurality of infrared sensing elements and a sum of the signals of the plurality of infrared sensing compensation elements such that at least linear an/or non-linear parasitic thermal fluxes are at least partly compensated for.
