Simulating the Radiation Loss of Superconducting Submillimeter Wave Filters and Transmission Lines Using Sonnet EM

Superconducting resonators and transmission lines are fundamental building blocks of integrated circuits for millimeter-submillimeter astronomy. Accurate simulation of radiation loss from the circuit is crucial for the design of these circuits because radiation loss increases with frequency, and can thereby deteriorate the system performance....

TiEMPO: Open-source time-dependent end-To-end model for simulating ground-based submillimeter astronomical observations

The next technological breakthrough in millimeter-submillimeter astronomy is 3D imaging spectrometry with wide instantaneous spectral bandwidths and wide fields of view. The total optimization of the focal-plane instrument, the telescope, the observing strategy, and the signal-processing software must enable efficient removal of foreground...
