Low Noise Cryogenic Amplifiers
These amplifiers allow methods of communication with distant spacecraft or probe the history and composition of the universe through radio astronomy. It is also used to study basic phenomena through low-temperature physics research as we have seen with the growth in quantum computing. These devices can achieve noise performance that push beyond the limits of classical physics into the quantum realm. Cryogenics LNA’s find use from low frequencies through several hundreds of gigahertz fo ruse in a variety of technologies. Without cryogenic low noise amplifiers, entire branches of experimental science simply would not exist.View more Low Noise Cryogenic Microwave Amplifiers

Astronomy Solutions
For more than 40 years, Thales has delivered high accuracy optics for ground-based Astronomy all around the world. These optics range from single, but challenging, unmounted optical components up to fully integrated opto-mechanical systems. Our design heritage and past experience in this field cover the design, manufacture and AIT activities of many optics and sub-assemblies used in Telescope instrumentation, such as focal plane assemblies as well as the direct production of telescope mirrors themselves. Several major achievements of Thales ground-based Astronomy products were the Optical wide field corrector for the Dark Energy Survey (lien), the Reference Body for future Deformable Secondary Mirror of the VLT (lien) and different challenging spectrograph optics (Collimator and Cameras) for different Observatories (lien). One advantage Thales has with this activity is that most part of the manufacturing steps involved (i.e. opto-mechanical design, milling/grinding, lightening, polishing and coating) are directly under our control in our own facility. Our current capabilities for the production of optics for ground-based Astronomy are from a few centimeters size up to 2 meters. Thanks to the continuous efforts in R& D and investments into new production machines, Thales is now ready for future industrial challenges including the optical production of some key elements of the E-ELT, GMT and TMT programs.

Frequency Multiplier
SMZ
R&S®SMZ frequency multipliers combine easy handling and precise output levels in the frequency range from 50 GHz to 170 GHz. They can be used in diverse applications, e.g. in the automotive sector with distance radars, in astronomy with sophisticated telescopes and in radar interferometry for analyzing the earth’s surface.The frequency multipliers are available in the R&S®SMZ75 (from 50 GHz to 75 GHz), R&S®SMZ90 (from 60 GHz to 90 GHz), R&S®SMZ110 (from 75 GHz to 110 GHz) and R&S®SMZ170 (from 110 GHz to 170 GHz) models. An optional attenuator (available for R&S®SMZ75, R&S®SMZ90 and R&S®SMZ110) can be integrated in the same housing as the frequency multiplier, simplifying handling. The R&S®SMZ can be controlled via USB.
