Abstract: A universal Read-Out Integrated Circuit (ROIC) interface apparatus configurable to control each of a plurality of different types of ROICs, each type of ROIC being configured to operate as an optical frontend to a respective optical detector array, the universal ROIC interface comprising a Pulse Capture Electronics (PCE) system or sub-system including a power subsystem, a ROIC data receive interface, a clock management system, and a signal processor integrated together, such as on a common printed circuit board (PCB).

Abstract: An antenna radiation collimator structure is provided as including a number of resonator circuit boards oriented to form a block structure. A sheet of dielectric material is disposed between each of the number of resonator circuit boards to maintain a substantially uniform spacing between each of the resonator circuit boards. A plurality of conductive unit resonator cells may be disposed on first planar surfaces of each of the number of resonator circuit boards and a plurality of conductive strip lines may also be disposed on second planar surfaces of each of the number of resonator circuit boards. In this arrangement, radiation applied to a substantially central location of the block structure interacts with the plurality of conductive unit resonator cells and the plurality of conductive strip lines for redirecting the radiation out of front and rear facing surfaces of the block structure as respective first and second substantially collimated beams.
