ABSTRACT:
A millimeter wave module for providing one pixel having a pixel resolution in a millimeter wave focal plane array includes a horn antenna having a first cross section area less than or equal to the pixel resolution, a detector for detecting the millimeter wave signals received by the horn antenna, the detector mounted in a recess in the horn antenna and having a second cross section area less than or equal to the first cross section area, and a video output adapter connected to the horn antenna and electrically connected to the detector for providing a connection from the detector, the video output adapter having a third cross section area less than or equal to the first cross section area.
