Abstract

An antenna-coupled microbolometer structure comprises a substrate (), an antenna () supported by the substrate, and a thermally sensitive element () connected to the antenna and arranged to dissipate electric currents induced into the antenna. Both the antenna () and the thermally sensitive element () comprise material that is susceptible to achieving a superconductive state below a certain critical temperature. The thermally sensitive element () is supported at a distance from the substrate () leaving an empty gap () between the thermally sensitive element () and a surface of the substrate ().
