Abstract

In this paper, we will present a novel quasi-optical power distribution technique that will allow achieving an efficient multi-pixel LO power distribution for submillimeter-wave instruments. This method can distribute the power from one antenna to a multi-pixel lens array in a hexagonal configuration with a power coupling efficiency of nearly 60%. We will present a prototype based on a transmit array of 7 pixels at WR1.5.
