Abstract :
Planar twin dipole microstrip antennas with integrated FET detectors which provide antenna patterns suitable for millimeter-wave quasioptical applications are discussed. The circuits are suitable for use as individual elements of an imaging array. A 63-GHz heterodyne mixer using such a circuit produced a system noise temperature of 7900 K
