Fiducial Regions for Body Wave Focal Plane Solutions

FOCAL POINT AND FOCAL K-PLANE

This paper deals with the basic notions of k-tautimmersions . These notions come from two special cases; that is, tight and taut immersions. Tight and taut based on high and distance functions respectively and their basic notions are normal bundle, endpoint map, focal point, critical normal. We generalize hight and distance functions to cylindrical function and define basic notions of k-taut ...

Integrated Focal Plane Arrays for Millimeter- wave Astronomy

We are developing focal plane arrays of bolometric detectors for sub-millimeter and millimeter-wave astrophysics. We propose a flexible array architecture using arrays of slot antennae coupled via low-loss superconducting Nb transmission line to microstrip filters and antenna-coupled bolometers. By combining imaging and filtering functions with transmission line, we are able to realize unique s...

Plane wave solutions for right-angled interior impedance wedges

[2] The impedance boundary condition [Senior and Volakis, 1995] is a convenient tool for simulating the material properties of a surface. For most materials the surface impedance is a scalar, but there are materials whose properties are anisotropic for which a tensor impedance is required. The simplest cases are those for which the tensors are diagonal but recent work with metamaterials has mad...

Dual - Band Millimeter - Wave / Infrared Focal - Plane Arrays

In this paper, a novel arrangement for dual-band millimeter-wave and infrared focal plane array based on slot-antennacoupled metal-oxide-metal diodes is demonstrated. The receiving properties for millimeter-wave and infrared antenna-coupled detector pixels are presented. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
