  4. 2. Circumstellar Debris Disks : Observational Studies of Cold Dust and Gas Emission in Planetary Nurseries

    Author : Ricky Nilsson; Alexis Brandeker; Mark Wyatt; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; circumstellar disks; debris disks; Kuiper belts; planet formation; submillimeter imaging; photometry; coronagraphy; integral-field spectroscopy; Astronomy; astronomi;

    Abstract : Planetary systems form in disks of gas and dust surrounding newborn stars. The young circumstellar environment is characterized by frequent collisions between rocky bodies, leading to a continuous production of small dust grains. READ MORE

  5. 3. InP DHBT Amplifiers and Circuit Packaging up to Submillimeter-Wave Frequencies

    Author : Klas Eriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; InP; WR05; packaging; noise figure; substrate modes; WR03.; multiple layer interconnect; double heterojunction bipolar transistor DHBT ; G-band; wideband; H-band; waveguide transition; distributed amplifier DA ; millimeter-wave; amplifier; low-noise amplifier LNA ; membrane technology; waveguide module; submillimeter-wave;

    Abstract : This thesis treats the design and characterization of amplifiers operating up tosubmillimeter-wave frequencies and packaging of such circuits into waveguidemodules. The circuits use an advanced indium phosphide (InP) double heterojunctionbipolar transistor (DHBT) process with a multilayer back-end. READ MORE

  6. 4. On millimeter and submillimeter wave focal plane arrays implemented with MEMS waveguide switches

    Author : Henrik Frid; Joachim Oberhammer; Vessen Vassilev; Mikro- och nanosystemteknik KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Extended Hemispherical Lens; Beam Steering; Focal Plane Array FPA ; Ray-Tracing; RF MEMS; waveguide switch; micromachined waveguide; submillimeter-wave; rectangular waveguide; terahertz; lenses; antenna theory; silicon; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents research towards enabling micromachined millimeter and submillimeter wave focal plane arrays (FPAs). The FPAs operate under the following principle: a switch network consisting of microelectromechanical (MEMS) switches, integrated with micromachined waveguides, is used to feed an array of antenna elements, located in the focal plane of a high-gain quasi-optical system.
