Wireless sensor network with superconducting nodes

摘要

A node in a wireless sensor network has a receiver that is at least partially implemented in high temperature superconductor circuitry. In one embodiment, band pass filters of the receiver are implemented in high temperature superconducting circuitry. In one embodiment, a cryo-cooler is coupled to a passage for providing coolant to the receiver such that the receiver is cooled at or below the superconducting temperature of its circuit elements.
