Integrated CCD transversal filter matched to a pair of 16-bit complementary series

An integrated filter matched to a pair of 16-bit complementary series was fabricated employing four buried channel CCDs with parallel-in/serial-out approach for high speed operation. This letter presents the structure and operation of the filter and demonstrates various advantages, such as negligible deviation (0.016%) from expected signal-to-noise power gain, high peak-to-sidelobe ratio
