Abstract

Heterodyne receivers are used in a variety of applications including communications and radar as well as atmospheric, planetary, and astrophysical remote sensing programs. A proper rf embedding circuit is required to optimize the performance of the nonlinear mixer in these receivers. In particular, low noise and high conversion efficiency have made superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) tunnel junctions well suited for millimeter wave and submillimeter wave mixer applications.
