Summary: This article introduces a small-sized and highly sensitive planar microwave permittivity sensor based on weakly coupled step-impedance resonators (SIRs). The sensor is a one-port structure implemented in coplanar waveguide technology and operates in the reflection mode. The sensor detects changes in the dielectric constant of the material under test by measuring the variation in the phase of the reflection coefficient at the operating frequency.

Summary: A noninvasive glucose sensor using defective ground-structure (DGS) coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line is proposed, which operates as a microwave resonator affected by glucose concentration. The fabricated DGS sensor with a size of 22 x 12 mm and a 3-D printed sample holder demonstrates a frequency sensitivity of about 1.852 x 10(-5) GHz/(mg/dL) and an amplitude sensitivity close to 6.54 x 10(-4) dB/(mg/dL). By repeating the array structure five times, the sensitivity is improved to a frequency sensitivity of 3.9 x 10(-6) GHz/(mg/dL) and an amplitude sensitivity of 5 x 10(-3) dB/(mg/dL). The proposed sensor may have promising applications in human health monitoring in the future.

Summary: This article investigates the current density distribution and kinetic inductance in superconducting coplanar waveguides (SCPWs). By mapping CPW to parallel plates and utilizing Green's function and London's second equation, an integral equation is formed to obtain the current density distribution. The procedure is verified using COMSOL Multiphysics software, and the results show that as the gap is reduced, the SCPW experiences a significant increase in current density especially at the edges. The article also evaluates the kinetic inductance of CPWs with different aspect ratios, finding that the kinetic inductance decreases as the ratio increases.

Summary: This paper presents a method that uses a set of airbridges to trim the frequency of microwave coplanar-waveguide (CPW) resonators post-fabrication. The method is compatible with conventional CPW airbridges and crossovers, and it increases device yield by compensating for design and fabrication uncertainty with 100 MHz range and 10 MHz resolution. Two applications in circuit QED are showcased: elimination of frequency collisions between resonators for different transmons by frequency-division multiplexing, and frequency matching of readout and Purcell-filter resonator pairs. The combination of matching and transmon frequency trimming achieves fast and high-fidelity readout across 17-transmon quantum processors.
