It is pointed out that distortions in received signals in solar occultation measurements made from space derive from the systematic motion of the electrooptical sensor. In a wide range of cases, the motion-related signal distortions brought about by the instrument's full modulation transfer function are as important as those from the optics. It is shown through simulation that existing techniques in the field of digital-image processing can be applied directly to solar occultation experiments to correct for these distortions. The resulting enhanced radiation profile is found to be much closer to the true radiance profile than is the sampled output of the instrument.
