325 GHz and 650 GHz Dual-polarisation receivers Concept
Paper in proceeding, 2022

The integrated dual-polarisation receivers utilize a dual probe concept, efficiently integrating the antenna and MMIC package environment which allows for polarisation discrimination without the use of bulky and lossy external orthomode transducers. This concept increases the sensitivity of the instrument and reduces its size, enabling the development of future earth observation arrays. Omnisys Instruments AB (Sweden) and Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden) are working to demonstrate state-of-the-art dual polarisation capability with two integrated receiver modules at 325 GHz and 650 GHz.
