Abstract :
The author presents a summary of the development status for recent high-efficiency integrated antennas that are suitable for low-noise submillimeter-wave receivers. The use of these antennas in planar receivers will result in very-low-noise receivers for frequencies above 100 GHz. The antennas presented here are the quasi-monolithic integrated horn antennas, the substrate-backed spiral and log-periodic antennas, the endfire slot-line antennas on thin membranes, the double-dipole integrated reflector antenna, and the dielectric-filled parabola.<>
