Noise parameters are a set of four measurable quantities which determine the noise performance of a radio-frequency device under test. The noise parameters of a 2-port device can be extracted by connecting a set of 4 or more source…
In this paper, we investigate the single photon response from the reflection of the Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) array. Reflection measurements are carried out using two configurations: one is measured simultaneously with…
After a brief history of the development of quality factor, useful expressions are derived for the robust input-impedance Qz(w) quality factor that accurately determines the VSWR fractional bandwidth of antennas for isolated resonances and…
Two critical characteristics for any MEMS resonator are the quality factor ($Q$) and the temperature coefficient of frequency ($TCF$). The connection between $Q$ and $TCF$ is demonstrated here with a phenomenological anharmonic oscillator…
Practical design parameters of resonant metamaterials, such as loss tangent, are derived in terms of the quality factor $Q$ of the resonant effective medium permeability or permittivity. Through electromagnetic simulations of loop-based…

Efficient micro-resonators simultaneously require a large quality factor $Q$ and a small volume $V$. However, the former is ultimately limited by bending losses, the unavoidable radiation of energy of a wave upon changing direction of…
Motivated by recent interest in implementing circuit quantum electrodynamics with semiconducting quantum dots, we consider a double quantum dot (DQD) capacitively coupled to a superconducting resonator that is driven by the microwave field…
Material resonances are fundamentally important in the field of nano-photonics and optics. So it is of great interest to know what are the limits to which they can be tuned. The bandwidth of the resonances in materials is an important…
