The device consists of a signal strip 1 gm wide by 2 Am long made of 40 A thick NbN film. The best operation point was found at 5 K, where the mixer bandwidth made up 1.5-2 GHz and the total loss diminished down to 8 dB. The critical current density has been increased up to {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft} 40 6 A/cm 2 , the noise temperature of the receiver (DSB) has reduced down to 450 K and the local oscillator power has decreased down to -.4).1 mcV.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1625), last updated on Wed, 26 May 2021 15:32:23 -0500", opturl="https://www.nrao.edu/meetings/isstt/1995.shtml" }
