ALMA Band 6 Cold Amplifier Oscillation in the 3rd Stage

Description

  • Resonance due to circuit size
  • Seen in lab as excess power in a single channel with 1 MHz RB on a spectrum analyzer
  • Typical frequency range is 229-230 GHz, but could be a bit larger
  • Expected to be different on different antennas and different polarizations
  • spectrum analyzer traces from Band 6 group
