Abstract
In this work we report a complete theory of the metal-insulator-metal, antenna coupled, mm and sub-mm detectors. The voltage -power responsivity is simply derived from the geometrical antenna proprieties and the electrical junction characteristics. The calculated responsivity simply foresees our experimental results in the sub-mm — mm range and well fits all the previously reported data
