Scanning of the Intermodulation of Superconductor Resonators Research Advisor: Dr. Stephen Remillard At the resonant frequency, superconductor resonators produce intermodulation distortions, smaller signals near the resonant frequency. By inducing external microwave signals, it is possible to analyse the patterns of intermodulation distortions (IMD) in several different types of superconductor resonators. These measurements can be used …
