Design, assembly, and initial test results of a cryostat for holographic characterization of microwave telescopes
Jon E. Gudmundsson, Miranda Eiben, Thomas J. L. J. Gascard +1
We describe the design, fabrication, assembly, and room-temperature vacuum qualification of a 1.4-m long cylindrical cryostat developed for holographic testing of cryogenic microwa…
Millimeter and sub-millimeter characterization of polymers used for infrared filters in high-sensitivity cryogenic microwave telescopes
Miranda Eiben, Rustam Balafendiev, Thomas Gascard +1
Vacuum windows and infrared filters are important transmissive optical components in millimeter receivers, as they hold out the atmosphere and reduce radiative loading on cold stag…
picoMUX: microcontroller based time-domain multiplexing readout for kilopixel TES arrays
Simon Tartakovsky, Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann +23
The paper introduces picoMUX, a microcontroller‑based time‑domain multiplexing readout system for kilopixel transition‑edge sensor (TES) arrays that achieves sub‑microsecond row dw…
Sub-Kelvin Cryogenics for a Super-Pressure Balloon-Borne CMB Polarimeter: Taurus
Jared L. May, Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann +23
Taurus is a balloon-borne cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment designed to operate more than 10,000 transition-edge sensor bolometers at a base temperature near 100 mK duri…
Optimizing broadband microwave absorbers for applications in the 70-200 GHz range
Gaganpreet Singh, Rustam Balafendiev, Mahesh Singh Bist +4
We present results of an extensive suite of numerical simulations that probe square-tiled microwave absorber performance as a function of material properties, frequency, geometry,…
