Special attention is paid to optimization of the contacts between the antenna and the active area of a superconducting film. An important result in the study of the parasitic effect of direct detection is obtained during the measurement of the noise temperatures by the hot/cold load method. The latest results of studies of the waveguide hot-electron bolometer mixers and their successful practical applications are considered. Progress in development of high-frequency (over 1.3 THz) heterodyne receivers for several important international projects is discussed and new submillimeter radio astronomy projects ESPRIT and SAFIR are described.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=381), last updated on Mon, 17 May 2021 11:25:18 -0500", issn="0033-8443", doi="10.1007/s11141-006-0018-0", opturl="http://www.springerlink.com/index/10.1007/s11141-006-0018-0", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/s11141-006-0018-0" }
