چکیده

Impedance measurements provide a useful probe of the physics of bolometers and calorimeters. We describe a method for measuring the complex impedance of these devices. In previous work, stray impedances and readout electronics of the measurement apparatus have resulted in artifacts in the impedance data. The technique allows experimenters to find an independent Thevenin or Norton equivalent circuit for each frequency. This method allows experimenters to easily isolate the device impedance from the effects of parasitic impedances and frequency dependent gains in amplifiers.

Uncertainty Analysis in Two-terminal Impedance Measurements with Residual Correction

Residual impedance correction in impedance analyzers when using an asymmetrical test fixture needs three reference measurements, usually open circuit, short circuit, and load (meaning an impedance close to the impedance under test). This paper provides an uncertainty estimate for impedance measurements that apply a simple open/short correction in spite of using an asymmetrical test fixture. Exp...

Complex Impedance and Equivalent Bolometer Analysis of a Low Noise Bolometer for SAFARI

Transition-edge-sensor (TES) bolometers are the chosen detector technology for the SAFARI Imaging Spectrometer on the SPICA telescope. For this mission, SRON is developing bolometers, each consisting of a TiAu TES that is weakly coupled to the thermal bath through thin legs of silicon nitride. In order to understand and optimize the bolometer and to verify our detector models, we characterize t...

Frequency Resolved Measurement of Longitudinal Impedances Using Transient Beam Diagnostics∗

In this paper we present several techniques for characterizing longitudinal impedances based on transient measurements of the growth rates and tune shifts of unstable coupled-bunch modes. These techniques are applicable to measurement of both fundamental and higher-order mode impedances and allow characterization of shunt impedances and quality factors of the HOMs. Methods presented here are co...

Numerical optimization of integrating cavities for diffraction-limited millimeter-wave bolometer arrays.

Far-infrared to millimeter-wave bolometers designed to make astronomical observations are typically encased in integrating cavities at the termination of feedhorns or Winston cones. This photometer combination maximizes absorption of radiation, enables the absorber area to be minimized, and controls the directivity of absorption, thereby reducing susceptibility to stray light. In the next decad...

Characterization of Longitudinal Impedances in Storage Rings via Multibunch Effects∗

In this paper we present two new techniques for frequency-resolved characterization of longitudinal impedances in storage rings. The first method is based on transient measurements of the growth rates and tune shifts of unstable coupledbunch modes. In the second approach estimates of the impedances are obtained from analysis of the steady-state synchronous phases of the bunches for uneven fill ...
