Concepts of Millimeter / Submillimeter Wave Cavities , Mode Converters and Waveguides Using High Temperature Superconducting Material
نویسندگان
چکیده
Concepts for possible use of high temperature superconductors in millimeter/submillimeter wave cavities, mode convertors and waveguides are described. Reduction of the ohmic loss in the cavities could remove a major constraint on the power produced by high frequency gyrotrons. Significant benefits could be obtained without the need for ultra high values of cavity Q. Improved mode convertor performance could be obtained by compact, high power density designs.

Superconducting On-Chip Spectrometery for Millimeter-submillimeter Wave Astronomy
Since the birth of astrophysics, astronomers have been using free-space optics to analyze light falling on Earth. In the future however, thanks to the advances in photonics and nanoscience/nanotechnology, much of the manipulation of light might be carried out using not optics but confined waveguides, or circuits, on a chip. This new generation of instruments will be not only extremely compact, ...
متن کاملSIS Junctions for Millimeter and Submillimeter Wave Mixers
We have developed a process for the fabrication of highquality Nb/AlOx/Nb tunnel junctions with small area and high current densities for the heterodyne mixers at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. Their dc I-V curves are numerically studied, including the broadening of quasiparticle density of states resulting from the existence of an imaginary part of the gap energy of Nb. We have foun...

The existing waveguide interface standards are generally found to be unsatisfactory above 110 GHz. An improved interface is proposed which is backward-compatible with the MIL-DTL-3922/67C standard and most of its higher-frequency variants. As there are currently no standard waveguide bands above 325 GHz, an extended set of bands is recommended for operation to 1100 GHz. Index Terms — Waveguides...

متن کاملSuperconducting Microstrip-Fed Antenna Coupled to a Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector
A proper antenna to couple to a microstrip Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) is designed and simulated. A twin-slot microstrip-fed inline antenna is designed for frequency band of 600-720~GHz integrated with an elliptical lens and coupled to the MKID. A systematic design procedure for design of such antenna with microstrip inline feeding is presented. Whole structure of lens and twin...
