Microwave frequency standards based on room temperature (sup 199)Hg(sup +) ions in a Linear Ion Trap (LITS) presently achieve a Signal to Noise and line Q inferred short frequency stability. Long term stability has been measured for averaging intervals up to 5 months with apparent sensitivity to variations in ion number/temperature limiting the flicker floor.

This paper will describe package characterization results including coplanarities for ceramic and plastic packages as well as results of process optimization including X-ray images.
Planar submillimeter wave circuits are slowly replacing whisker-contacted devices at frequencies above 100 GHz, but in many cases the size constraints dictated by the short wavelengths found at high frequencies have not been adequately addressed.
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory has assembled a group experienced mission and spacecraft designers to serve as a core team for quick response to a wide range of advanced mission study requests.
