The physical principles of operation of terahertz HEB mixers are presented, their manufacturing from ultrathin NbN films, the main HEB-mixer parameters and their measurement techniques are discussed, and practical terahertz radioastronomy projects based on heterodyne receivers with HEB mixers are considered.", optnote="UDC 537.312.62", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=472), last updated on Thu, 20 May 2021 19:09:37 -0500", issn="0033-8443", doi="10.1023/B:RAQE.0000024991.65949.d6", opturl="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/B:RAQE.0000024991.65949.d6", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1023/B:RAQE.0000024991.65949.d6" }
