C-Band Terminated Diplexer Serves Quantum-Computing Applications

In time for nascent quantum-computing projects, NIC’s SMA-terminated diplexer shrugs off the –213°C temperatures required for quantum systems.

In IMS Booth #21041, look for Networks International’s latest terminated diplexer, a C-band device that's engineered for advanced quantum-computing environments. The SMA-terminated diplexer is said to perform reliably at ultra-low cryogenic temperatures (10 to 20 mK or –273°C).

It covers a frequency range from DC to 6,000 MHz with low insertion loss (3-dB maximum from DC to 5,550 MHz) and strong return loss (10-dB minimum from DC to 5,550 MHz), ensuring signal integrity in demanding applications.

The device’s internal diplexing design provides flat stopband rejection (±5 dB), minimizing noise leakage, preserving qubit coherence, and enhancing signal fidelity. The result is improved system stability and simplified calibration. Custom designs are available from DC to 20 GHz.
