A two-aperture synthesis as applied to Multiskan photodetectors is suggeste
d. It is intended for improving device sensitivity and reducing location er
ror due to high-intensity background illumination. Different approaches to
constructing the synthetic aperture, which performs light conversion near t
he saturation region of the Multiskan current-voltage characteristic, are a
nalyzed. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
