چکیده
A new metal mesh coupler that makes use of a tunneling effect of evanescent waves between a metal mesh and a dielectric plate, has been proposed as a quasi-optical component for millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. Theoretical calculation and experimental measurement performed from 40 GHz to 60 GHz show that the transmittance of the coupler can be changed more than 50 % for the variation of a spacing less thafl 0.18 mm between a capacitive mesh and a silicon plate at around

SIS 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...
متن کاملALMA Memo 415 Phase Correction using Submillimeter Atmospheric Continuum Emission
We discuss a phase correction method using total power from submillimeter/millimeter SIS receivers. The discussion is based on FTS measurements and model calculations of submillimeter/millimeter atmospheric emission under various weather conditions. Liquid water in the atmosphere (cloud or fog) limits the phase correction accuracy using the total power measurements. Comparison between millimete...

0 Abstract The paper focuses on revealing the salient structural aspects of a new transmission-line model with a view to exploiting them for gains in efficiency and accuracy. The new transmission-line model has as its basis the Telegraphers Equations but the manner of solution is what distinguishes the new approach from existing transmissionline simulation techniques. The technique is based on ...
متن کاملGround-based millimeter and submillimeter-wave radiometry for the observation of the Arctic atmosphere
Microwave radiometers working at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths show enhanced sensitivity to low contents of water vapor and cloud liquid in the atmosphere with respect to conventional radiometers working at centimeter wavelengths. This enhanced sensitivity gives particular interest to high-frequency radiometers for the accurate observations in extreme dry and cold conditions typical ...
متن کاملA Dual-Polarized Slot Antenna for Millimeter Waves - Antennas and Propagation, IEEE Transactions on
We describe a new dual-polarized slot antenna to be used with quasi-optical devices such as superconductor-insulatorsuperconductor (SIS) mixers at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. The radiation and impedance characteristics of the antenna were obtained from a moment-method calculation. The antenna has an excellent radiation pattern, a low impedance, wide bandwidth, and low cross polari...
