Patent number: 5227800Abstract: A contraband detection system especially suited for detecting concealed non-metallic contraband such as ceramic or plastic weapons or illegal drugs carried by a person is disclosed. Plural sources of quasi-coherent millimeter wave radiation are disposed so as to uniformly illuminate a field of view. In the preferred embodiment, the radiation emitted by the sources is linearly polarized in a single plane such that the polarization of the radiation with respect to the plane in which linearly polarized radiation is preferentially received by the detectors can be controlled. For detection of dielectric objects, such as ceramic weapons or narcotics, these planes of polarization should be orthogonal to one another. The detector is a staring array which does not require scanning to generate an image of the entire field of view; the signal provided by each element of the detector array corresponds to the illumination reflected from objects in a single portion of the field of view.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1991Date of Patent: July 13, 1993Assignee: Millitech CorporationInventors: G. Richard Huguenin, Paul F. Goldsmith, Naresh C. Deo, David K. Walker

Patent number: 5202692Abstract: A millimeter wave imaging system is disclosed which has wide applicability throughout transportation and related industries. For example, the system may be used to provide an aircraft pilot with an image of a landing field which is essentially unaffected by fog, rain, snow, blowing sand, etc. The system comprises an array of imaging elements as its fundamental component. Each of the imaging elements of the basic array comprises an antenna consisting of a pair of conductive elements and a non-linear circuit element connected thereacross. A image can then be formed responsive to millimeter-wave radiation without complex processing steps or any form of mechanical or electronic scanning.To increase the sensitivity of the imaging array system, a local oscillator signal may be mixed with the energy received from the field of view in each of the imaging elements by the non-linear circuit element. The oscillator used to provide the local oscillator signal can also be used to illuminate the field of view.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 1991Date of Patent: April 13, 1993Assignee: Millitech CorporationInventors: Richard G. Huguenin, Paul F. Goldsmith, Naresh C. Deo, David K. Walker

Patent number: 5145809Abstract: An improved method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is described. In the preferred embodiment, a Gunn diode is manufactured from InP active and buffer layers. The buffer layer is deposited on a GaAs substrate using an epitaxial deposition process and the active layer is deposited onto the buffer layer. Electrical connection to the InP layers is made by etching a via through the GaAs substrate and metallizing the walls of the via. After the device has been placed in its final package, the GaAs substrate material is removed. As a result, good thermal and electrical contact is made to the InP active layer, and therefore, a Gunn diode manufactured according to this invention can reliably produced greater output power.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1990Date of Patent: September 8, 1992Assignee: Millitech CorporationInventor: David K.
