Abstract

The authors have been developing four kinds of lens-coupled antenna imaging arrays for operation at millimeter- and submillimeter-wave frequencies. Dipole antennas, Yagi-Uda trap-loaded antennas, and microstrip patches are compared from the viewpoint of matching with detectors and optical systems. The radiation patterns and input impedance of each antenna have been calculated and measured to attain the optimum matching using model experiments. The trap-loaded antenna arrays have been successfully applied to plasma diagnostics at the Tsukuba GAMMA 10 tandem mirror
