Supercond.", year="1999", volume="9", number="2", pages="3753--3756", optkeywords="NbN HEB mixers", abstract="We describe a heterodyne receiver developed for astronomical applications to operate in the 350 /spl mu/m atmospheric window. The waveguide receiver employs a superconductive NbN phonon-cooled hot-electron bolometer mixer. The double sideband receiver noise temperature closely follows 1 kGHz/sup -1/ across 780-870 GHz, with the intermediate frequency centered at 1.4 GHz. The conversion loss is about 15 dB. The receiver was installed for operation at the University of Arizona/Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy Submillimeter Telescope facility. The instrument was successfully used to conduct test observations of a number of celestial sources in a number of astronomically important spectral lines.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=288), last updated on Tue, 25 May 2021 12:42:38 -0500", issn="1051-8223", doi="10.1109/77.783844", opturl="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/783844", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1109/77.783844" }
