Abstract
According one embodiment, a non-heterodyne radiation imager includes a substrate having a ground plane layer. The radiation imager also includes a plurality of antenna elements operable to receive radiative input. Each support element of a plurality of support elements mechanically couples an antenna element of the plurality of antenna elements to the substrate. A plurality of energy detectors is operable to measure the radiative input received by the plurality of antenna elements.
