A method is proposed and experimentally explored for in-situ calibration of complex transmission data for superconducting microwave resonators. This cryogenic calibration method accounts for the instrumental transmission response between the vector network analyzer reference plane and the device calibration plane. Once calibrated, the observed resonator response is analyzed in detail by two app...

this paper proposes a new method for transmission loss allocation. the share of each bus in the transmission line losses is determined using transmission line loss equations with respect to bus-injected currents. then, it is applied to the total network transmission lines. in the proposed method, comparing with other methods, a solution to remove the negative loss allocation has been introduced...

Abstract This paper presents the results of Ishikari Line 1 restart test conducted in 2021 to collect basic data for cost reduction, improved efficiency, and confirm integrity equipment. The Superconducting DC transmission (SCDC) demonstration facility was constructed 2013 Ishikari, Hokkaido. It comprises world’s longest class 500 m (Line 1) 1000 2) SCDC systems. In 2015, successfully demonstra...

Two models for describing the operation of a magnetic travelling wave accelerator, the transmission line model and the lumped parameter model, are analyzed. For both cases the current distribution and the magnetic field are calculated. It is shown that the transmission line model can be obtained as the limiting case of the lumped parameter model. It is then assumed that a superconducting soleno...

We analyze the Purcell relaxation rate of a superconducting qubit coupled to a resonator, which is coupled to a transmission line and pumped by an external microwave drive. Considering the typical regime of the qubit measurement, we focus on the case when the qubit frequency is significantly detuned from the resonator frequency. Surprisingly, the Purcell rate decreases when the strength of the ...

We are developing focal plane arrays of bolometric detectors for sub-millimeter and millimeter-wave astrophysics. We propose a flexible array architecture using arrays of slot antennae coupled via low-loss superconducting Nb transmission line to microstrip filters and antenna-coupled bolometers. By combining imaging and filtering functions with transmission line, we are able to realize unique s...

This paper presents a new model to calculate the characteristic impedance and wave propagation constant of a microstrip line made of a superconducting material. Modelling provides the only tool for designing superconducting microstrip based circuits because no direct measurements of such a line can be made at millimetre and sub-millimetre waves and at cryogenic temperature of 4 K with required ...
