SiGe IC- based mm-wave imager

—Millimeter-wave radiation and detection offers the possibility of detecting concealed weapons. Passive imaging measures the mm-wave radiation emitted from target objects. A passive mm-wave imager and the designs affecting the overall system performance are discussed. With low power receiver architecture and SiGe ICs, a focal plane based full staring array is feasible and can provide a high thermal
