Abstract :
The paper presents a set of issues and solutions for the integration of a WGPD (wave guide photo detector) and a CPW (coplanar waveguide) fed three element slot antenna. Novel designs for band pass filters and low loss transmission lines are also described. The operating frequency of the antenna is around 18.5 GHz and is connected directly with the photodetector without the use of amplifier or any active elements. Measured data and simulations for various antenna/photodetector configurations are compared and discussed.
