The best receiver noise temperatures are: 700 K at 1.6 THz and 1100 K at 2.5 THz. Parylene as an antireflection coating on silicon has been investigated and used in the optics of the receiver. The dependence of the mixer gain bandwidth (GBW) on the bias voltage has been measured. Starting from low bias voltages, close to operating conditions yielding the lowest noise temperature, the GBW increases towards higher bias voltages, up to three times the initial value. The highest measured GBW is 9 GHz within the same bias range the noise temperature increases by a factor of two.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=312), last updated on Mon, 24 May 2021 14:04:58 -0500", doi="10.1109/77.919508", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1109/77.919508" }
