Scalable MMIC Receiver Array Development for Millimeter-wave Spectroscopy, Polarimetry, and Interferometry

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。将建立一个基于单片毫米集成电路技术的四像素原型外差焦平面阵列。其目的是证明一个可扩展的焦平面阵列技术的可行性，主要是基于技术开发的商业应用。最终目标是证明数百个像素阵列在毫米波频率下支持高达20%的分数带宽的可行性。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).A four-pixel prototype heterodyne focal plane array based on Monolithic Millimeter Integrated Circuit technology will be built. The purpose is to demonstrate the feasibility of a scalable focal plane array technology based largely on technology developed for commercial applications. The ultimate goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of an array of hundreds of pixels supporting fractional bandwidths as great as 20% at millimeter wave frequencies.
