Demonstration of MHz frequency domain multiplexing readout of 37 transition edge sensors for high-resolution x-ray imaging spectrometers
H. Akamatsu, D. Vaccaro, L. Gottardi +22
We report on the development and demonstration of a MHz frequency domain multiplexing (FDM) technology to read out arrays of cryogenic transition edge sensor (TES) X-ray microcalor…
Impact of the absorber coupling design for Transition Edge Sensor X-ray Calorimeters
M. de Wit, L. Gottardi, E. Taralli +10
Transition Edge Sensors (TESs) are the selected technology for future spaceborne X-ray observatories, such as Athena, Lynx, and HUBS. These missions demand thousands of pixels to b…
High Aspect Ratio Transition Edge Sensors for X-ray Spectrometry
M. de Wit, L. Gottardi, E. Taralli +11
We are developing large TES arrays in combination with FDM readout for the next generation of X-ray space observatories. For operation under AC-bias, the TESs have to be carefully…
Frequency Shift Algorithm: Application to a Frequency-Domain Multiplexing Readout of X-ray Transition-Edge Sensor Microcalorimeters
D. Vaccaro, H. Akamatsu, J. van der Kuur +17
In the frequency-domain multiplexing (FDM) scheme, transition-edge sensors (TES) are individually coupled to superconducting LC filters and AC biased at MHz frequencies through a c…
Progress in the development of frequency domain multiplexing for the X-ray Integral Field Unit on board the Athena mission
H. Akamatsu, L. Gottardi, J. van der Kuur +11
Frequency domain multiplexing (FDM) is the baseline readout system for the X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) on board the Athena mission. Under the FDM scheme, TESs are coupled to…
Study of the dependency on magnetic field and bias voltage of an AC-biased TES microcalorimeter
Luciano Gottardi, James Adams, Catherine Bailey +15
At SRON we are studying the performance of a Goddard Space Flight Center single pixel TES microcalorimeter operated in an AC bias configuration. For x-ray photons at 6 keV the pixe…
