Abstract
We describe a focal plane array using antenna elements and SIS junctio ns photo-etched on a quartz substrate. The etched antenna is of a new stripline type in which a two-dimensional corrugated horn is phase-cor rected with a strip-line lens. Good beam efficiency is indicated by th e measured antenna patterns. A DSB receiver temperature of 225 K was o btained with a number of imperfections still present.
