Abstract :
Millimeter wave video rate focal plane imagers using passive (radiometric) and active (radar) modes of operation are described. These sensors involve compact (“folded”) optics and focal plane low-noise receiver arrays. Active optics which utilize load switching and phase shifting twist reflectors are described
