The mixer elements are thin-film (thickness --- 4 nm) NbN with ---5 to 40 pm area fabricated on crystalline quartz sub- strates. The receiver noise temperature from 200 GHz to 900 GHz demonstrates no unexpected degradation with increasing frequency, being roughly TRx ,; 1-2 K The best receiver noise temperatures are 410 K (DSB) at 430 GHz, 483 K at 636 GHz, and 1150 K at 800 GHz.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=275), last updated on Tue, 25 May 2021 23:57:01 -0500", opturl="https://www.nrao.edu/meetings/isstt/1997.shtml" }
