Abstract: The design of compact hyperspectral cameras with high ground resolution and large field of view (FOV) is a challenging problem in the field of remote sensing. In this paper, the time-delayed integration (TDI) of the digital domain is applied to solve the issue of insufficient light energy brought by high spatial resolution, and a hyperspectral camera with linear variable filters suitable for digital domain TDI technology is further designed. The camera has a wavelength range of 450-950 nm, with an average spectral resolution of 10.2 nm. The paper also analyzed the effects of digital domain TDI on the signal-noise ratio (SNR) and the spectral resolution. During its working in orbits, we have obtained high-SNR images with a swath width of 150 km, and a ground sample distance (GSD) of 10 m @ 500 km. The design of the hyperspectral camera has an improved spatial resolution while reducing the cost.
