摘要 |
This invention is a support spring made of a material, such as aluminum, that is damped by friction forces to directly support a sapphire dielectric resonator operating from a cold finger at cryogenic temperatures in a spring-mounted enclosure to reduce a phase-noise vibration sensitivity of the sapphire dielectric resonator. The support spring provides vibration isolation in al three directions, along with good thermal conductivity to aid in resonator cool-down. A damper clamp and damper clips provide the friction forces necessary for damping which prevents large vibration transmission peaks in a hostile, low-temperature, high-vacuum environment.
