Performance enhancement of a very inexpensive millimeter-wave (MMW)/terahertz (THz) sensor for MMW/THz imaging systems is experimentally demonstrated in this study. The MMW sensor is composed of a glow discharge detector (GDD) and a light-to-frequency (LTF) converter combination. The experimental results given in this study show an improvement in the performance parameters of the detector element, such as the minimum detectable signal, as well as the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and the noise equivalent power (NEP), when a NIR long-pass filter was inserted between the GDD and the LTF combination. A detailed derivation of the NEP of this unique sensor is presented in this work. Based on this derivation and the experimental measurements, the NEP value was calculated.

A full proof of concept for low-cost millimeter wave (MMW) communication link is demonstrated in this study. The suggested MMW channel is based on a very inexpensive commercially available off-axis dish antenna usually used for TV satellites, two Arduino Uno micro controller boards, and glow discharge detectors (GDD). The GDD is a robust and inexpensive room-temperature plasma device which was found to be a sensitive MMW radiation detector. The Arduino micro controllers are used to encode a text message into serial bits and also decode it. Those serial bits were used to modulate the MMW radiation in On-Off keying. The detection of MMW radiation was performed using a simple and inexpensive GDD. The suggested MMW channel can be used as point to point backhaul wireless communication for the 5th generation of cellular communication.
