Microwave Mixing and if Bandwidth in Sub-Micron Long High -T(sub c) Hot - Electron BolometersThe hot-electron bolometer (HEB) mixer made from a high-T(sub c) superconductor (HTS) was introduced recently as a competing alternative to a Schottky mixer. The HEB mixer would require 100-times less LO power and thus would be a desirable candidate for long-term observational missions such as atmospheric remote-sensing and planetary science. The required cooling temperatures between 65 K and 75 K can be achieved with available space-qualified coolers or even with passive radiative coolers.
