Caption

Radio signals collected by the telescope are injected into the on-chip antenna (on the left) and propagate to the right-hand side through the thin metal line. A filterbank is located along the line and signals with specific frequencies are extracted by each filter. The signal then enters the MKID and is detected. The size of the chip is 4 cm x 1.5 cm.
