A Superconducting Tunnel Junction Receiver for 230 GHz

Edmund C. Sutton

The performance of superconducting tunnel junctions as high-frequency receivers is discussed. Low-noise mixing in superconductor insulator-superconductor (SIS) quasi-particle tunnel junctions has been seen for frequencies up to 400 GHz. Such mixers have the significant advantage of small local-oscillator power requirements. A receiver has been constructed which has a single-sideband (SSB) receiver noise temperature of 305 K at 241 GHz.

A 110–118 GHz receiver based on a superconducting quasiparticle tunnel junction mixer is described. The single-sideband noise temperature is as low as 68 ± 3 K. This is nearly twice the sensitivity of any other receiver at this frequency.
