An Integrated Sideband-Separating SIS Mixer Based on Waveguide Split Block for 100 GHz Band with 4.0–8.0 GHz IF

We have developed an integrated sideband-separating SIS mixer for the 100 GHz band based on the waveguide split block. The measured receiver noise temperatures with 4.0–8.0 GHz IF are less than 60 K in the LO frequency range of 90–110 GHz, and a minimum value of around 45 K is achieved at 100 GHz. The image rejection ratios are more than 10 dB in the frequency range of 90–110 GHz. We have installed the sideband-separating SIS mixer into an atmospheric ozone-measuring system at Osaka Prefecture University and successfully observed an ozone spectrum at 110 GHz in SSB mode. This experimental result indicates that the sideband-separating SIS mixer is very useful for astronomical observation as well as atmospheric observation.     

Optical Vector Network Analyzer with an Improved Dynamic Range Based on a Polarization Multiplexing Electro-Optic Modulator

We present a new method to achieve an optical vector network analyzer(OVNA) based on a polarization multiplexing electro-optic modulator(PM-EOM) without an optical bandpass filter. Optical single sideband(OSSB)modulated signals with a tunable optical carrier-sideband ratio(OCSR) are obtained at the output of the PMEOM. The OCSR can be flexibly tuned by controlling bias voltages of the PM-EOM. The dynamic range of the OVNA is expanded by taking the improvement of the OCSR into account. The transmission response of an optical device under test(ODUT) is measured based on one-to-one mapping from optical domain to electrical domain. By optimizing the OCSR of the OSSB modulated signals, the dynamic range of the OVNA can be effectively improved with 3.7 dB. An analytical model is derived to describe the transfer function of the ODUT.The magnitude and phase responses of a fiber Bragg grating are characterized with a large dynamic range.     

Design of a 24 GHz, 25-50 kW Technology Gyrotron Operating at the Second Harmonic

The preliminary design of a moderate (25-50 kW) gyrotron operating at the ISM (industrial, scientific, medical) frequency of 24.1 GHz is presented. Operation at the second harmonic is considered so that one can obtain radiation at the given frequency with only half the magnetic field required.
