Abstract :
A novel strategy for broad band focal plane array design, resulting from the two years long cooperation between TNO and SRON (Space Research Organization Netherlands), 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 at SRON to be used in Space science missions such as SPICA.
