Abstract
A dc‐biased resonant capacitor sensor for cylindrical gravitational antennas is discussed. For appropriate tuning and Q, its noise is found to be below the thermal noise of such antennas down to millidegree temperatures. ’’Ring’’ and ’’knife edge’’ suspensions of antennas are also discussed as possible alternates to wire and magnetic suspensions.Keywords
