Description for Development of Coherent Detector Technologies for Sub-Millimetre Wave Astronomy Observations
Hardback. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 243 pages, biography. BIC Classification: TTB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 14. Weight in Grams: 532.
The thesis describes the development of receiver technologies for sub-millimetre astronomy instruments, focusing on high performance coherent cryogenic detectors operating close to the superconductor gap frequency. The mixer chip which comprises the SIS devices, fed by a unilateral finline and matching planar circuits was fabricated on 15 micron silicon substrate using the recently developed Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) technology. This offered broadband IF and RF performance, with fully integrated on-chip planar circuits resulting in an easily reproducible mixer chip and a simple mixer block. An important consequence of this design is that it can be extended to the supra-THz region and making ... Read more
