  • antennas for frequencies of 210 and 240 GHz with cold-electron bolometers, described in the present paper, is proposed to be suitable for such applications. Two arrays placed on a single silicon chip with 7 mm × 7 mm size can independently detect radiation at two frequencies. Here, in the design of
