We present measurements of the low-temperature excess frequency noise of four niobium superconducting coplanar waveguide microresonators, with center strip widths s(r) ranging from 3 to 20 mu m. For a fixed internal power, we find that the frequency noise decreases rapidly with increasing center strip width, scaling as 1/s(r)(1.6). We show that this geometrical scaling is readily explained by a simple semiempirical model which assumes a surface distribution of independent two-level system fluctuators. These results allow the resonator geometry to be optimized for minimum noise. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
