摘要：

Slot-ring antennas with planar backshorts designed for operation at 95 GHz have been fabricated and their properties measured. Using optical lithography, we fabricated the slot-ring antennas, along with integrated niobium thin-film bolometers, on dielectrically thin (50 mum) silicon substrates. We have performed a theoretical analysis of the slot-ring antennas with planar backshorts and compared the theoretical results with our measured beam patterns. The measured antenna patterns have highly circular main beams with full -3 dB beamwidths of 21 degrees. The patterns have low sidelobe levels of about -15 dB in the H-plane and below -25 dB in the E-plane and a directivity of 17 dB. We are investigating a focal-plane array of slot-ring antenna-coupled bolometers for use in a concealed-weapons imaging system.
