"SUB-MILLIMETRE WAVELENGTH CAMERA"
Application 1706/DELNP/2005 published 2007-01-19, filed 2005-04-27
The invention relates to an imaging device to be used with millimeter and/or sub-millimeter radiation comprising at least a pair of substrates, at least one of which is patterned on at least one surface with a patterning defining at least one radiation detector, each radiation detector comprising; an antenna adapted to receive millimeter and/or sub-millimeter electromagnetic radiation, a mixer channel coupled to said antenna and in communication with a via extending through a substrate for connection to a signal output, a mixer comprising filters being mounted in the mixer channel for extracting an intermediate frequency signal in dependence upon said radiation received by the antenna, a wave-guide structure coupled to said mixer and having a signal input for connection to a local oscillator.
