1. 6. Design and Performance of Some Components for a Millimeter Wave Imaging Receiver

   Författare :Guillermo F. Delgado Gunckel; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nipi MQW; imaging receiver; lens shaping; diplexer; kinoform; opto-electronic quasi-optical modulation; dielectric lenses; sideband filter; diffractive optics;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the design and performance of some novel devices for an imaging receiver, operating in the frequency band centered at 100 GHz, to be used in radio astronomy research. The emphasis is given on simple, small and reliable devices in order to reduce the complexity of an already complex receiver. LÄS MER

3. 7. Design, Characterization, and Calibration of Low-Noise Terahertz Receivers

   Författare :Olle Nyström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; receiver characterization; instrumentation; antenna design; Radio astronomy; calibration; optics;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused on the field of instrumentation for radio-astronomy and atmospheric science, and specifically deals with problems such as optical design and its verification, horn antennas and receiver optics’ components, different aspects of measurement systems in order to characterize low-noise THz receivers, and its calibration techniques.Ultra low-noise Terahertz receivers, used in radio-astronomy, are typically coupled to the telescope system through relay optics that provides guiding of the signal to the receiver frontend with minimal loss.

5. 9. Reconfigurable and Wideband Receiver Components for System-on-Chip Millimetre-Wave Radiometer Front-Ends

   Författare :Shakila Bint Reyaz; Robert Malmqvist; Anders Rydberg; Luca Roselli; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Reconfigurable; Wideband; Receivers; Millimetre-Wave; Radiometers; System-on-Chip; Passive Imaging.; Engineering Science with specialization in Microwave Technology; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot mikrovågsteknik;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis presents solutions and studies related to the design of reconfigurable and wideband receiver circuits for system-on-chip (SoC) radiometer front-ends within the millimetre-wave (mm-wave) range. Whereas many of today’s mm-wave front-ends are bulky and costly due to having discrete RF components, single-chip receiver modules could potentially result in a wider use for emerging applications such as wireless communication, short range radar and passive imaging security sensors if realised with adequate performances and at a lower cost.

7. 10. Towards Ultimate Performance of THz Heterodyne Receivers: SIS Frequency Multiplier and Wideband Passive Components

   Författare :Hawal Marouf Rashid; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Wideband passive components; distributed SIS junction; Frequency multiplier; Frequency up-converter; Hybrids; distributed SIS frequency multiplier;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the development of advanced components for the future wideband side band separating and / or multipixel receivers for radio-astronomy with ultimate sensitivity.In this thesis, a novel frequency multiplier based on distributed superconducting tunnel (SIS) junctions has been demonstrated for the first time, taking advantage of the extreme inherent nonlinearity of such device.
