Applications for sensitive, fast, room temperature, detectors for millimetre and submillimetre wave radiation are diverse. They range from imaging for Earth observation and for active and passive security scanning to plasma and particle beam diagnostics. Depending on the incoming signal strength, prior signal treatment via bandpass filtering and/or low noise amplification may be required. Thus detectors should be compact, and be capable of easy integration into planar antennas or microstrip circuits.
