A 64 Element, 70–95 GHz Focal Plane Phased Array

We discuss the theory and implementation of phased array receivers in the focal plane of a telescope as applied to the mm-wave band. Simulated performance and construction details are given for a 64 element, 70-95 GHz array receiver for use on the Green Bank Telescope (GBT).
