TY - JOUR AU - Boreman, Glenn D. PY - 1997 DA - 1997// TI - Infrared microantennas T2 - SPIE JO - SPIE SP - 882 EP - 885 VL - 3110 KW - optical antennas AB - We present results of mesurments of the polarization response of asymetric spiral antennas coupled Ni-NiO-Ni diodes, over the wavelength range 10.2 to 10.7 μm. The feed structure of the antenna imposes an elliptical polarization singature that is different from the circular polarization expected from a symmetric spiral. We develop a lossy-transmission-line model yielding the measured polarization response. A combination of a balanced and an unbalanced mode is required. Reflected current waves from the arm ends are significant.
