Abstract
Charge-Coupled Devices often deliver non standard noises, with a power spectrum proportional to a real power of 1/f over several decades (depending on biasing and temperature). On the other hand, CCD signal acquisition systems are frequently non stationary in their structure: the Wiener-Kintchin theorem is not valid for evaluating noise power and signal to noise ratio. In this paper, the chain is seen as a continuous state-variable time-varying system with a fractional-noise input, modelled from a diffusive representation of fractional integrators.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
