A SINGLE-CHIP BALANCED SIS MIXER FOR 200-300 GHz
The balanced mixer is fabricated on a 2 x 1 mm quartz substrate which contains an RF quadrature hybrid and two SIS mixers. These components are realized in capacitively-loaded coplanar waveguide, which minimizes stray coupling between adjacent components and coupling to undesired modes in the thick quartz substrate. Signal and LO waveguides are coupled to separate ports of the main substrate vi...
متن کاملA 530-GHz Balanced Mixer
We report on the design and performance of a 530-GHz balanced SIS mixer, the first balanced mixer in this frequency range. This quasi-optical balanced mixer utilizes a cross-slot antenna on a hyperhemispherical substrate lens with eight superconductor–insulator–superconductor (SIS) junctions and a 180 lumped element IF hybrid circuit. The local oscillator (LO) and the radio frequency (RF) signa...
متن کاملLow Noise SIS Mixer for Far Infrared Radio Astronomy
We present a low noise SIS mixer developed for the 1.2 THz band of the heterodyne spectrometer of the Herschel Space Observatory. The device of this design will be among the first SIS mixers flown in space at Herschel. The developed SIS mixer has a quasi-optical design, with a double slot planar antenna and an extended spherical lens made of pure Si. The SIS junctions are Nb/AlN/NbTiN with the ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a 385 - 500 GHz SIS Mixer for ALMA Band 8
In this paper, we report on the design and experimental results of a fix-tuned Superconductor-Insulator-Superconductor (SIS) mixer for Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) band 8 (385-500GHz) receivers. Nb-based SIS junctions of a current density of 10kA/cm and one micrometer size (fabricated with a two-step lift-off process) are employed to accomplish the ALMA receiver specifica...
متن کاملDesign and Fabrication of a 911 GHz Balanced Low Noise Amplifier Using HJFET
This paper describes the design of an X-band balanced low noise amplifier (LNA) using an available HJFET device. The balanced LNA consists of a pair of electrically similar transistors whose input and output signals are divided or combined by 3 dB two-stage Wilkinson power dividers. The proposed balanced LNA is fabricated and measured. The measured results show that the noise figure is 1.30 dB ...
