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.
