NbN HEBs are phonon-cooled de-. vices which are expected, according to theory, to achieve up to 10 GHz IF conversion gain bandwidth. We have developed an antenna coupled device using a log-periodic antenna and a silicon lens. We have demon- strated that sufficient LO power can be coupled to the device in order to bring it to the optimum mixer oper- ating point. The LO power required is less than 1 microwatts as measured directly at the device. We also describe the impedance characteristics of NbN devices and compare them with theory. The experimental results agree with theory except for the imaginary part of the impedance at very low frequencies as was demonstrated by other groups.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1605), last updated on Wed, 26 May 2021 00:12:56 -0500", opturl="https://www.nrao.edu/meetings/isstt/1997.shtml" }
