64 MMIC receivers built for mm-wave imaging have been systematically characterized. Each receiver comprises three InP MMIC low noise amplifiers and a biased Schottky diode detector in a compact package with a horn antenna. The characterization includ

The cost of thermal imaging technology has, up until now, precluded its widespread use in sensor systems which require sensors to be deployed in very large numbers. This paper describes a method of achieving this goal of bringing low-cost 'disposable

Acoustic sensors have been the primary sensor of choice for many UGS network concepts. This is primarily due to their low cost, non line of sight performance and the fact that most targets of interest are noisy. This paper explores the benefits to be

Some years ago QinetiQ introduced a short-range reconnaissance unmanned air vehicle (UAV), known as OBSERVER, which carried a visible three-camera sensor. To increase its versatility, a compatible infrared (IR) thermal imaging (TI) sensor was develop

The cost of thermal imaging technology has, up until now, precluded its use in networked sensor systems which require sensors to be deployed in very large numbers. Detectors based on the manufacturing processes used in the production of conventional

The advent of uncooled thermal imaging has produced an order-of-magnitude reduction in the cost of thermal imaging compared to first-generation cooled systems. To reach a truly mass market, this process needs to be continued. One of the key cost cons

The staring array is the basis of many modern thermal imaging systems, cooled and uncooled. A major drawback in all staring array thermal imaging systems is the need to provide thermal referencing in order that the non-uniformity inherent in all IR d

This paper reviews the use of thin film ferroelectric materials for application in microbolometer infrared detector arrays. A key issue is the need for high temperature processing to achieve the required ferroelectric crystal phase. Results of therma

There is a widespread requirement for low cost lightweight thermal imaging sensors for both military and civilian applications. In Europe, these requires are now being met by systems using large uncooled ferroelectric detector arrays offering perform

Uncooled Thermal Imaging (TI) in the UK involves large arrays of ferroelectric bolometer elements, at a pitch of from 100 micrometer down to 40 micrometer. A Hybrid Array Technology, exploiting the pyroelectric property of ferroelectric ceramic mater
