Title IF bandwidth of phonon cooled HEB mixers made from NbN films on MgO substrates Type Conference Article
Year 2000 Publication (up) Proc. 11th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol. Abbreviated Journal Proc. 11th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol.
Volume Issue Pages 219-227
Keywords NbN HEB mixers, cinversion gain bandwidth, IF bandwidth
Abstract An investigation of gain and noise bandwidth of phonon-cooled hot-electron bolometric (HEB) mixers is presented. The radiation coupling to the mixers is quasioptical through either a spiral or twin-slot antenna. A maximum gain bandwidth of 4.8 GHz is obtained for mixers based on a 3.5 nm thin NbN film with Tc= 10 K. The noise bandwidth is 5.6 GHz, at the moment limited by parasitic elements in the, device mount fixture. At 0.65 THz the DSB receiver noise temperature is 700-800 К in the IF band 1-2 GHz, and 1150-2700 К in the band 3.5-7 GHz.

Title Performance of the phonon-cooled hot-electron bolometric mixer between 0.7 THz and 5.2 THz Type Conference Article
Year 2000 Publication (up) Proc. 8-th Int. Conf. on Terahertz Electronics Abbreviated Journal Proc. 8-th Int. Conf. on Terahertz Electronics
Volume Issue Pages 117-119
Keywords NbN HEB mixers
Abstract We report on the phonon cooled NbN hot electron bolometer as mixer in the terahertz frequency range. Its hybrid antenna consists of a hyperhemispheric silicon lens and a logarithmic-spiral feed antenna. Noise temperatures have been measured between 0.7 THz and 5.2 THz. A quarter wavelength layer of Parylene works as antireflection coating for the silicon lens and reduces the noise temperature by about 30. It was found that the antenna pattern at 2.5 THz is determined by the feed antenna and not by the diameter of the lens.

Title NbN hot electron bolometric mixer with intrinsic receiver noise temperature of less than five times the quantum noise limit Type Conference Article
Year 2000 Publication (up) Proc. IMS Abbreviated Journal
Volume 2 Issue Pages 1007-1010
Keywords HEB mixer
Abstract In recent years, improvements in device development and quasi-optical coupling techniques utilizing planar antennas have led to a significant achievement in low noise receivers for the edges of the submillimeter frequency regime. Hot electron bolometric (HEB) receivers made of thin superconducting films such as NbN have produced a viable option for instruments designed to measure the molecular spectra for astronomical applications as well as in remote sensing of the atmosphere in the THz regime. This paper describes an NbN HEB mixer with intrinsic DSB receiver noise temperature of at most five times the quantum noise limit at frequencies as high as 2.24 THz

Title A 120-GHz integrated photonic transmitter Type Conference Article
Year 2000 Publication (up) Proc. International topical meeting on microwave photonics (MWP 2000) Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 225 - 228
Keywords THz, teraherts communications, terahertz communication channel, photodiode, transmitter
Abstract A photonics-based 120-GHz transmitter has been developed. A photodiode, a planar antenna and a silicon lens were integrated to form a compact millimeter-wave (MMW) emitter. The MMW signal emitted from the transmitter has been detected with a waveguide-mounted Schottky diode. The received power exceeded 100 μW, which is the highest value ever reported for photonic MMW transmitter at frequencies of >100 GHz
