  • Custom Design of Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits
    CRAIG R. MOORE and JOHN E. PENN CUSTOM DESIGN OF MONOLITHIC MICROWAVE INTEGRATED CIRCUITS Monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC'S) have been designed at the Applied Physics Laboratory and fabricated at several gallium arsenide foundries since 1989. The design tools and methods for designing MMIC'S have evolved to the present use of integrated computer-aided engineering software with programmable design components. Software elements that can be customized create multilayer mask descriptions of components for transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors, microstrip connections, and other structures to improve the quality and productivity of MMIC's designed at the Laboratory. The schematic, physical layout, and simulation models are integrated into a single software tool, eliminating much potential for error. Experience with various foundries and various MMIC design techniques have increased our ability to design at higher and higher frequencies with confidence in achieving first-time success. The design improvements have been accompanied by improvements in measurement techniques for higher frequencies using microwave probe stations. This article summarizes MMIC designs at the Laboratory over the past few years and the progress shown and lessons learned.

  • Quantum Coherence Thermal Transistors

(Dated: May 31, 2021) Coherent control of self-contained quantum systems offers the possibility to fabricate smallest thermal transistors. The steady coherence created by the delocalization of electronic excited states arouses nonlinear heat transports in non-equilibrium environment. Applying this result to a three- level quantum system, we show that quantum coherence gives rise to negative differential thermal resistances, making the thermal transistor suitable for thermal amplification. The results show that quantum coherence facilitates efficient thermal signal processing and can open a new field in the application of quantum thermal management devices.

  • MASER FREQUENCY STABILITY Richard C
    MASER FREQUENCY STABILITY Richard C. Mockler and James A. Barnes National Bureau of Standards Boulder Laboratories The frequency stability of an ammonia maser is ordinarily quite high for periods of a few minutes. However, to preserve this stability for long periods of time - hours and days - requires rather careful control of the parameters of the system which affect the frequency - in particular the pres- sure, focuser voltage and cavity temperature. We have had some success with the se problems. Method and Results of Long Term Stabilitv Tests In order to facilitate frequency comparison and also to gain the greatest possible use of the high stability of the maser, it has proved useful to use the maser as a stabilizing device for a frequency multiplier chain. We then expect that at any point along the chain we may take signals at useful power levels, and these signals will have stabilities closely approaching that of the maser itself. A block diagram of the maser stabilized chain is shown in figure 1 together with auxiliary apparatus for the purpose of comparing a 5 MC helium cooled crystal oscillator with the stabilized chain. The servo time constant is about 0. 1 millisecond. Figure 2 shows a comparison of a helium cooled oscillator with the maser stabilized chain; the maximum drift in relative frequency over a two hour period was about 2 X 10-l l. In these experiments the maser cavity temperature was controlled to within . OOl°C with two pro- portionally controlled thermostats - one inside the other. Figure 3 shows some of the best frequency comparisons that we have succeeded in making between two masers.

Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) Abstract A new type of atomic hydrogen maser that operates in a dilution refrigerator has been developed. In this device, the hydrogen atoms circulate back and forth between a mi• crowave pumped state invertor in high field and the maser cavity in zero field. A prototype maser with a small maser cavity has been built and the results obtained so far are encouraging. Stable maser oscillations were observed for temperatures of the maser bulb between 230 mK and 660 mK and for densities up to 3 x 1012cm-3. The short term frequency stability was measured with the help of two high quality quartz crystal oscillators by the three-cornered-hat method.
