  • SOLAR SENSOR INCLUDING REFLECTIVE ELEMENT TO TRANSFORM THE ANGULAR RESPONSE
    Publication number: 20070209657
    Abstract: A solar sensor that utilizes a blocking element and curved reflective element between the sun and a photo-sensitive electronic device to provide high signal levels and the ability to shape the angular response of the overall sensor. A particular angular response can be achieved by combining the attenuating affects of the blocking element with the increased response affects of the curved reflector. These two elements may be combined into one physical structure, or may be separate. Further, the present invention contemplates the use of multiple blocking elements and multiple reflectors.
    Type: Application
