Submillimeter-Wave Receiver Containing An SIS MixerSubmillimeter-wave heterodyne receiver designed to operate at input frequencies in range of 480 to 650 GHz. Intended for use in radio astronomy at frequency of 547 or 626 GHz. Heart of receiver is waveguide mixer that includes adjustable backshort and electric-field-plane tuner. Mixing element high-current-density superconductor/insulator/superconductor (SIS) tunnel junction integrated with superconductive microstrip radio-frequency circuit that tunes out capacitance of junction; matching complex impedance of junction to available tuning range of waveguide mount.
