PY - 2009 DA - 2009// TI - Series production of state-of-the-art 602-720 GHz SIS receivers for band 9 of ALMA BT - Proc. 20[super:th] Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol. SP - 7 EP - 11 KW - SIS mixer KW - noise temperature KW - ALMA KW - band 9 AB - The Atacama Large Millimeter/Sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) requires the development and production of 73 state-of-the-art receivers for the 602-720 GHz range - the ALMA Band 9 cartridges. Development and pre-production of the first 8 cartridges was completed between 2003 and 2008, resulting in a cartridge design that meets the project's challenging requirements. The cartridge design remains essentially unchanged for production, while the production and test processes developed during pre-production have been fine-tuned to address the biggest new challenge for this phase - ramping up production to a rate of 2 cartridges per month over 2009-2012.
