Facts
- Any form of technology used to detect some phenomenon from a distance
- Divided into active and passive
- Passive
- Detection of emissions without direct interaction
- Active
- Transmission of some means to detect through interaction with distant phenomena
- Often involved emission of unspecified signal at particular frequencies (TNG Novel: Available Light)
- Passive
Technological notes
- High-density minerals often serve to deflect active sensor efforts and prevent passive detection
- Certain forms of low-level warp fields can serve to deflect sensors (TNG Novel: A Time to Heal)
- Natural crystalline structures, such as certain Oort cloud bodies, can serve as natural enhancers for active sensor efforts, expanding effective range immensely (DS9 Novel: Mission Gamma: Cathedral)
Generic components
- Image translator (TNG Novel: Q & A)
- Automatically translates raw sensor data into visual-spectrum image (TNG Novel: Q & A)
Implementations
Dekyon resonance pattern
- Analyzes local dekyon field for resonances indicating sources of dekyon emissions (TNG: "Cause and Effect"; TNG Novel: A Time to Heal)
Icospectrogram
- First developed May 2267 (VAN Novel: Precipice)
- Subspace penetration scans allow for chemical analysis of wide regions of a planet that could otherwise not be resolved (TNG: "Pen Pals"; SCE Short Story: "Wildfire, Book 1"; TNG Novel: A Time to Heal)
- Can resolve chemical makeup of both terrestrial strata and gas giant atmospheric composition (TNG: "Pen Pals"; SCE Short Story: "Wildfire, Book 1"; TNG Novel: A Time to Heal)
- Requires extended time, effort to produce results (TNG: "Pen Pals")
- Sensor penetration still not limitless (SCE Short Story: "Wildfire, Book 1")
