Characterization of low-noise quasi-optical SIS mixers for the submillimeter band [PDF]
We report on the development of low-noise quasi-optical SIS mixers for the frequency range 400-850 GHz. The mixers utilize twin-slot antennas, two-junction tuning circuits, and Nb-trilayer junctions. Fourier-transform spectrometry has been used to verify

Equivalent circuit of microstrip spiral inductor circuit generation by computer
A method of equivalent circuit generation by computer is illustrated using a microstrip spiral inductor as an example. The computer program modifies the circuit topology, adding nodes and components as necessary. Results are compared with a model derived from physical considerations and show a great improvement in performance for a small increase in ...

Programmable Chiral Radiation via Spin‐Decoupled Metasurface with Integrated Compound Phases
A programmable spin‐decoupled metasurface integrating propagation and geometric phases enables high‐purity chiral radiation with reconfigurable emission direction. Spin‐selective radiators combined with a compound phase decoupling strategy suppress undesired components, while embedded PIN diodes allow real‐time directional control.
