A receiver noise temperature of 2000 K at 2.52 THz has been obtained for the mixer without corrections. Also, the effect of a Parylene C anti-reflection (AR) coating on the silicon (Si) lens has been studied. %K NbN HEB mixers %K noise temperature %R 10.11906/TST.037-041.2008.03.05 %U http://www.tstnetwork.org/10.11906/TST.037-041.2008.03.05 %U https://doi.org/10.11906/TST.037-041.2008.03.05 %P 37-41
