Abstract :
Passive radiometry is a health-safe alternative to other imaging techniques conceived to be used on human beings for security or medical purposes. In this paper we discuss the advantages and show the results of a feasibility study of a W-Band radiometer onto a single chip in standard CMOS technology.
