Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of detection and measurement of electromagnetic energy at microwave frequencies. In particular, the present invention relates to an ultrasensitive detector structure and device capable of detecting extremely small amplitude microwave signals. Background technique
[0002] Ultrasensitive detection methods of received electromagnetic radiation include calorimetry and bolometery. A calorimeter is a device in which the instantaneous rise in temperature of a detector element decays exponentially towards the temperature of a surrounding thermal bath. A bolometer has a detector element and a thermal bath, but the method measures power (energy over time), the average flux of incoming photons, rather than the precise energy of individual photons.
[0003] Therefore, the schematic diagram of Figure 1 applies to both calorimeters and bolometers. The incident radiation 101 is absorbed in the absorber 102 such that the absorbed...
