Abstract :
The application of arrays of integrated circuit receivers to imaging of microwave and millimeter-wave radiation is presented. Overall system concepts and both focal-plane and aperture-plane types of systems are discussed. Several functional block diagrams of the sensors are suggested, and some examples of state-of-the-art units are presented.<>
