Thesis
A 230 GHz focal plane array using a wide IF bandwidth SIS receiver
- Abstract:
-
Superconductor-Insulator-Superconductor (SIS) mixers offer the best noise properties of any heterodyne mixing technique at millimetre wavelengths. In astronomy, they are used for sensitive spectroscopy, which is vital for understanding the properties of the cold interstellar medium, including regions of star formation activity. Modern SIS receivers have noise properties that are ∼3 times the quantum limit, and it is now becoming increasingly difficult to lower the noise propertie...
