Frame Repetition Rate<br />

Frame repetition rate replaces speed <strong>of</strong> response and is defined as the<br />

number <strong>of</strong> times every point on the target is scanned in one second. This<br />

should not be confused with field rate. Some imagers are designed to<br />

interlace consecutive fields. each consisting <strong>of</strong> alternate image lines. This<br />

results in images less disconcerting 令 人 不 安 的 to the human eye. The frame<br />

rate in this case would be one half the field rate. An example <strong>of</strong> a typical<br />

frame repetition rate specification for an imager would be "frame repetition<br />

rate = 30 frames per second." For a line scanner. the term line scan rate is<br />

used and it is expressed in lines per second.<br />

Comments:<br />

For interlace field rate scanning; The frame rate in this case would be one half<br />

the field rate.<br />
