In this paper we discuss the major characteristics of this kind of receiver, i.e. the gain and the noise bandwidth, the noise temperature in a wide RF band, bias regimes and optimisation of RF coupling to the quasioptical mixer. We present the status of the development of the mixer for Band 6 Low for Herschel Telescope.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1521), last updated on Thu, 15 Jul 2021 01:43:27 -0500", doi="10.1117/12.459675", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1117/12.459675" }
