Reception Power Pattern of Distributed Absorbers in Focal Plane Arrays
A Fourier Optics Analysis
Passive imaging cameras at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths are currently entering a new era with the development of large format arrays of direct detectors. Several of these arrays are being developed with bare absorbing meshes without any antenna coupling (lens or horn)

Frequency and time domain UTD vertex diffraction
A heuristic solution and a step toward the exact one
The diffraction by vertexes or corners is important in practical engineering applications when it is necessary to characterize the scattering of objects with arbitrary shapes and finite dimensions. In this paper we discuss some of the existing Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD)
