Progress on millimeter wave Josephson junction mixers

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5181693
Preset, recyclable Nb point contacts are tested as low-noise Josephson mixers at a signal frequency of 115 GHz. The best result achieved is a mixer noise temperature (single sideband) of 120 K with unity conversion efficiency (SSB) for a junction at 6 K. Variation of mixer properties with temperature and other parameters is presented.
