Patent number: 11329356Abstract: The technology described herein is directed towards a cryogenic-stripline microwave attenuator. A first high thermal conductivity substrate such as sapphire and a second high thermal conductivity substrate such as sapphire, along with a signal conductor comprising one or more attenuator lines between the substrates form a stripline.
