PY - 2010 DA - 2010// TI - Superconducting hot-electron bolometer mixer as element of thermal imager matrix T2 - Tech. Phys. Lett. JO - Tech. Phys. Lett. SP - 1006 EP - 1008 VL - 36 IS - 11 KW - HEB mixers AB - The possibility of using a matrix of sensitive elements on a 12-mm-diameter hyperhemispherical lens in a thermal imager operating in the terahertz range has been studied. Dimensions of a lens region acceptable for arrangement of the matrix, in which the receiver noise temperature varies within 16% of the mean value, are determined to be 3.3% of the lens diameter. Deviations of the main lobe of the directivity pattern are evaluated, which amount to ±1.25° relative to the direction toward the optimum position of a mixer. The fluctuation sensitivity of the receiver measured in experiment is 0.5 K at a frequency of 300 GHz.
