Relative performance of filled and feedhorn-coupled focal-plane architectures.
Modern far-infrared and submillimeter instruments require large-format arrays. We consider the relative performance of filled-array (bare pixel) and feedhorn-coupled architectures for bolometer focal planes. Based on typical array parameters, we quantify the relative observing speeds and comment on the merits of the different architectures. Filled arrays can provide higher mapping speed (by a f...

متن کاملFOCAL 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 ...
متن کاملMeasured performance of a 230 GHz prototype focal-plane feedhorn array made by direct drilling of smooth-walled horns
We present the first, complete 230 GHz feedhorn array manufactured by direct drilling of smooth–walled horns into a single plate of aluminium. The horn design process, based on a genetic algorithm, is described and the fabrication process, via direct drilling using shaped drill bits, is presented. We present cross coupling and beam pattern measurements of a close–packed pair of the smooth–walle...
متن کاملArchitectures for focal plane image processing
Architectures for focal plane image processing are discussed. On-chip image preprocessing for solid-state imagers using analog CCD circuits is described for low, medium, and high density detector arrays. A spatially parallel architecture for low density, high throughput applica tions is described. For sparse illumination or event detection, a content· addressable architecture is proposed. A ne...
