Decent capabilities of the microwave reflectometry readout were earlier justified by us for a hot electron bolometric direct detector. In case of a planar Schottky diode, we observed increase of an optical noise equivalent power by a factor of 2 compared to that measured within a conventional readout scheme. For implementation of a multipixel camera, a microwave reflectometer is to be used to readout each row of the camera, and the row switching is to be maintained by a CMOS analog multiplexer. The diodes within a row have to be equipped with filters to distribute the probing microwave signal properly. The simultaneous use of analog multiplexing and microwave reflectometry enables to reduce the camera response time by a factor of its number of columns.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1153), last updated on Fri, 30 Apr 2021 14:17:42 -0500", issn="1742-6588", doi="10.1088/1742-6596/1695/1/012156", opturl="https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/1695/1/012156", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/1695/1/012156" }
