Isbn: 9781390406412 - advances in the measurement of rf power and attenuation using squids (classic reprint) (1 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the progress made in the application of Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) to the measurement of radio frequency power and attenuation from July 1973 to June 1974. SQUIDs are devices that can be biased at 1 GHz and above, allowing for advancements in bandwidth and signal strength for microwave measurements. The author describes new stable SQUIDs with preset junctions that can withstand thermal cycling and mechanical shock. The book also provides experimental and theoretical results of systematic errors in radio frequency measurements with SQUIDs arising from harmonic distortion of the functional form of its basic response to magnetic flux. These systematic errors include third harmonic distortion, rf leakage, and external rf noise. The author presents a procedure to minimize these errors and concludes that random errors have been consistently less than $0.002 dB rms. This book is a valuable resource for researchers and engineers working in the field of microwave measurements and SQUID technology. It offers insights into the design, characterization, and application of SQUIDs for precise radio frequency power and attenuation measurements. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
