    Abstract: A system of measuring and correcting for distortions in homodyne systems and a method for operating a data processing system to provide an estimate of distortions in homodyne systems are disclosed. The method for operating a data processing system to provide an estimate of a distortion introduced by a homodyne system when the homodyne system processes a time a multi-tone time domain input signal, x(t), to obtain a time domain output signal, y(t) includes receiving a frequency spectrum, X(f), of the multi-tone time domain input signal, x(t) and measuring an output frequency spectrum, Y(f), when the homodyne system operates on x(t). A plurality of parameters of a model that represents a linear frequency response of the homodyne system when operating on X(f) to arrive at Y(f) by fitting the model to Y(f) and X(f) is determined, and the model is applied to X(f) and Y(f) to estimate the distortions.

    Abstract: In a vacuum apparatus including an ultrahigh vacuum evacuation pump, the ultrahigh vacuum evacuation pump is provided with a rod-shaped cathode including a non-evaporable getter alloy, a cylindrical anode disposed so as to surround the cathode, and a coil or a ring-shaped permanent magnet disposed so as to sandwich upper and lower openings of the cylindrical anode and surround the rod-shaped cathode. As a result, it is possible to reduce the size and weight of the ultrahigh vacuum evacuation pump and to dispose the vacuum evacuation pump at a desired location in the vacuum apparatus.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for heating a gas phase stabilizer (5) installed within a gas-filled proportional counter (1) in order to activate the stabilizer (5). According to the invention, the heat is conducted into the proportional counter (1) along a thermal inlet (3), which is in thermal exchange contact with the stabilizer (5). The thermal inlet (3) employed in forming the gas filling can advantageously be employed for heating the stabilizer up to the activating temperature.

    Abstract: A HIGH VACUUM GETTERING PUMP IS DESCRIBED WHICH IS CAPABLE OF PROVIDING A HIGH VAPORIZATION RATE OF A GETTER MATERIAL. THE PUMP INCLUDES A HIGH THERMIONIC EMISSION CATHODE FILAMENT DISPOSED OVER A SURFACE OF A BULK SUPPLY OF A GETTER MATERAL SUCH AS TITANIUM. THE GETTER MATERIAL IS CONTAINED WITHIN A CUP-SHAPED HEAT SHIELD AND HAS A PERIPHERAL CONFIGURATION MINIMIZING THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL AT THE SIDES OF THE BODY OF GETTER MATERIAL WHICH WILL NOT BE MELTED BY THERMIONIC EMISSION FROM THE FILAMENT WHEN A HIGH OPERATING POTENTIAL IS APPLIED BETWEEN THE FILAMENT AND THE GETTER MATERIAL BODY. A SHIELD IS ALSO

    PROVIDED BLOCKING LINE-OF-SIGHT TRAVEL OF VAPORIZED GETTER MATERIAL TO A PORTION OF THE FILAMENT WHICH DOES NOT REACH A HIGH ENOUGH TEMPERATURE TO PREVENT CONDENSATION OF THE GETTER MATERIAL. THE SHEILD IS TAPERED INWARDLY AND CURVED AWAY FROM THE FILAMENT ADJACENT AN UNSHIELDED PORTION THEREOF TO MINIMIZE THE EFFECT CAUSED ON THE OPERATION OF THE FILAMENT BY THE BUILD-UP OF GETTER MATERIAL ON THE SHIELD.
