Patent ID: 8080774

Claim:
A millimeter wave module for providing one pixel having a pixel resolution in a millimeter wave focal plane array, the millimeter wave module comprising: a horn antenna for receiving millimeter wave signals and having a first cross section area less than or equal to the pixel resolution, the horn antenna having a recess on a rear side of the horn antenna; a detector substrate mounted in the recess and configured to be aligned by the recess to the horn antenna and having a second cross section area less than or equal to the first cross section area; a detector on the detector substrate for detecting the millimeter wave signals received by the horn antenna, the detector aligned by the detector substrate to receive the millimeter wave signals from the horn antenna; and a video output adapter mounted on the rear side of 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.
