Patent number: 7795587Abstract: A Terahertz scanning imaging device for imaging objects where the object is larger than the object to imager distance. The imager comprises scanning elements, sensors, and an image processor. The scanning elements are used to direct radiation to the sensors. Multiple scanning elements and sensors may be used, each scanning a portion of the field of view. The image processor, in communication with the sensors, generates a consolidated 2-dimensional image of a field of view.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2005Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: The Science and Technology Facilities CouncilInventors: Chris Mann, Brian Maddison, Jonathan Horton James

Publication number: 20020057226Abstract: A millimeter or submillimeter wavelength device including a substrate having a horn shaped cavity, and first and second extension layers formed on a top surface of the substrate adjacent to the horn shaped cavity. The first and second extension layers define additional opposed sides of the horn shaped cavity, channels, and walls of the waveguide. Internal surfaces of the horn shaped cavity, the channels, and the waveguide walls include a conductive layer. Two such structures, which are mirror images of each other, are joined to form a horn antenna with integrated channels and a waveguide. The device is fabricated by forming a resist layer on a substrate which includes a horn shaped cavity. The resist layer is etched to form a half horn antenna, channels and walls of a waveguide. Internal surfaces of the half horn antenna, the channels, and the walls of the waveguide are then metalized. Two such metalized structures are then joined to form a full horn antenna integrated with channels and a waveguide.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2001Publication date: May 16, 2002Applicant: University of Virginia Patent FoundationInventors: Philip J. Koh, Thomas W. Crowe, William L. Bishop, Jeffrey L. Hesler, Robert M. Weikle, Chris Mann, David Matheson
