Title
Direct Detection Antenna-Coupled Mmw Sensors For The Detection Of Explosive Vapors
Keywords

Abstract
The low vapor pressure and concentration of explosive such as TNT and RDX pose significant problems for the detection of explosive vapors in the mmW bands. For the positive identification of explosive vapors using an uncooled passive mmW imaging spectrometer with a low false alarm rate (FAR) requires an unprecedented sensitivity of <150 fW. We report on the recent development of a novel uncooled mmW antenna-coupled direct detector, which shows promise of meeting this requirement.
