Bolometric detector, device for detecting submillimetric and millimetric electromagnetic waves that uses such a detector

摘要

This bolometric detector for electromagnetic radiation comprises: a receiving antenna ( 1 ) intended for collecting electromagnetic radiation and thus ensuring electromagnetic coupling; a resistive load capable of converting the electromagnetic power collected into heating capacity; a thermometric element ( 4 ) connected to the receiving antenna ( 1 ) via the resistive load and thermally isolated from a support substrate ( 2 ), capable of accommodating an electronic circuit that includes means of electric excitation (stimuli) and means of pre-processing the electric signals generated by said detector. The receiving antenna ( 1 ) is itself isolated from the support substrate ( 2 ).
