  • Microwave coupled excitation of solid state resonant arrays
    Patent number: 7990336
    Abstract: An electronic receiver array for detecting microwave signals. Ultra-small resonant devices resonate at a frequency higher than the microwave frequency (for example, the optical frequencies) when the microwave energy is incident to the receiver. A microwave antenna couples the microwave energy and excites the ultra-small resonant structures to produce Plasmon activity on the surfaces of the resonant structures. The Plasmon activity produces detectable electromagnetic radiation at the resonant frequency.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 2, 2011
    Assignee: Virgin Islands Microsystems, Inc.
