  • Abstract
    A novel strategy for broad band focal plane array design is proposed. Its purpose is to couple the radiation from a Large F/D reflector system to an array of Kinetic Inductance detectors that are being investigated and realized at SRON. To maximize the benefits from using their BW properties the idea is to use Leaky Lens based array elements, as imaging pixels.
