Cooling and Packaging of RF Components

  • Chapter
Microwave Superconductivity

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NSSE,volume 375))

Abstract

The ideal cryogenic refrigerator (“cryocooler” or “cooler”) for cooling superconducting RF components should have a cooling power of a few Watts at the desired operating temperature, with an input power of also only a few Watts. Furthermore, it would be nice if it had infinite operating lifetime and costs only a few dollars. More wishes can be made, but it is obviously clear that such an ideal cooler, unfortunately, does not exist. Therefore, in the design of the complete system, a trade-off has to be made to compromise these wishes or requirements. In this trade-off process, device design and cryopackaging design have to interact. For example, a lower operating temperature may be desirable from the point of view of device performance while a lower temperature will necessitate a cooler that is bigger, heavier and more expensive. In this chapter, the cryopackaging aspects are considered. The main questions to be answered are:

  • How do available coolers work?

  • What are trends in cooling

  • What are the important aspects in packaging?
