Quantum Limits of Superconducting Heterodyne Receivers.

Abstract

The goal of this research is to produce quantum limited SIS quasiparticle heterodyne receivers at submillimeter wavelengths. The approach used is to build prototype matching structures for 90 GHz and test them thoroughly. These matching structures will then be scaled to smaller dimensions to investigate their performance at submillimeter wavelengths. Substantial progress has been made toward these goals during the first grant year.
