Abstract(in English) In this paper we present the design and performance of a fixed tuned W-band SIS mixer with a wide band IF (5-7 GHz). We designed the waveguide-to-stripline transition of the SIS mixer using a numerical analysis called "lumped-gap-source port method" (HFSS, Ansoft Corporation). The measured receiver noise temperature is less than 25 K in the frequency range of 95-115 GHz, and minimum value of around 19 K is achieved. The mixer noise temperature is determined to be about 8.5K which is about two times as large as the hω/κ_B. In spite of such high IF frequency (f_0=6 GHz), the performance of the SIS receiver is comparable or even superior to those of the best mechanically tuned waveguide SIS receiver with low IF frequency (f_0=1.5 GHz). Accordingly, this numerical method makes it possible to design easily the waveguide-to-stripline transition without scale model measurements.
