Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In a field of a high-sensitive radio sensing, e.g. observation of the cosmic microwave background radiation, our main approach for improving the sensitivity of the system is a combination low-temperature detectors (i.e., low noise) and a large aperture (i.e., high photon statistics). A big difficulty of this approach is that the large aperture induces extra thermal radiations, i.e. infra-red radiations, into the low-temperature detectors. We invented a technology to solve this difficulty: Radio-transparent multi-layer insulation, named RT-MLI. The RT-MLI is transparent for the radio, however, it effectively reflects the infra-red radiations. We proofed this technology based on the laboratory tests. We also developed various applications, e.g. prevention of dew condensation in a meteorological atmospheric monitor.
