AB  - We investigated the design method of an infrared (IR)/microwave (MW) micromirror 
      array type of beam combiner. The size of micromirror is in microscopic levels and 
      comparable to MW wavelengths, so that the MW will not react in these dimensions, 
      whereas the much shorter optical wavelengths will be reflected by them. Hence, 
      the MW multilayered substrate was simplified and designed using transmission line 
      theory. The beam combiner used an IR wavefront-division imaging technique to 
      reflect the IR radiation image to the unit under test (UUT)'s pupil in a parallel 
      light path. In addition, the boresight error detected by phase monopulse radar 
      was analyzed using a moment-of method (MoM) and multilevel fast multipole method 
      (MLFMM) acceleration technique. The boresight error introduced by the finite size 
      of the beam combiner was less than 1 degrees . Finally, in order to verify the 
      wavefront-division imaging technique, a prototype of a micromirror array was 
      fabricated, and IR images were tested. The IR images obtained by the thermal 
      imager verified the correctness of the wavefront-division imaging technique.
