  4. 2. Antenna Integrated Superconducting Mixers

    Author : Hans Ekström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tapered slotline antenna; mixer; double dipole antenna; superconducting; hot electron; receiver; Niobium; bolometer; trilayer junction; edge junction; Niobium Nitride; SIS;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the prospects of some different superconducting mixers integrated with planar antennas for the millimeter and submillimeter regime. Two kinds of Superconductor/Insulator/Superconductor (SIS) tunnel junctions for use in mixers have been fabricated; Nb/PbBi edge junctions and Nb trilayer junctions. READ MORE
