Developments on frequency domain multiplexing readout for large arrays of transition-edge sensor X-ray micro-calorimeters
D. Vaccaro, H. Akamatsu, L. Gottardi +8
At SRON we have been developing X-ray TES micro-calorimeters as backup technology for the X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) of the Athena mission, demonstrating excellent resolving…
System performance of a TDM test-bed with long flex harness towards the new X-IFU FPA-DM
D. Vaccaro, M. de Wit, J. van der Kuur +17
SRON (Netherlands Institute for Space Research) is developing the Focal Plane Assembly (FPA) for Athena X-IFU, whose Demonstration Model (DM) will use for the first time a time dom…
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…
Performance and uniformity of a kilo-pixel array of Ti/Au transition-edge sensor microcalorimeters
E. Taralli, M. D'Andrea, L. Gottardi +7
Uniform large transition-edge sensor (TES) arrays are fundamental for the next generation of X-ray space observatories. These arrays are required to achieve an energy resolution $Δ…
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…
