Abstract :
In this paper the design and characterisation of an imaging array at 500 GHz based on EBG technology is described. The array is formed by 7 detecting elements placed on a top of a silicon woodpile and uses a paraboloidal mirror as refractive element. Good agreement was obtained between predicted and measured performances.
