All PSD's show long-range and pixel-to-pixel variations of response to larger or smaller extents. These can be corrected, in general by means of a look-up table, during data processing, but the measurements necessary for the calibration are often time-consuming. The output signals of many analogue detectors contain fixed-pattern noise that is synchronous with the read-out clock. This noise is usually removed during data processing, which in any case requires the subtraction of the background pattern.
