Abstract(in English) | A novel broadband tuning circuit composed of two low-current-density half-wave tunnel junctions connected by a half-wave microstrip line has been analytically investigated using a simplified model of the circuit. Based on this analysis, we designed, fabricated and tested an all NbN quasi-optical SIS mixer in the 800 GHz band. The mixer used an MgO hyperhemispherical lens with an anti-reflection layer and a twin-slot antenna. The two half-wave junction tuning circuit was integrated in a center-fed twin-slot antenna. Heterodyne measurements showed double-side-band receiver noise temperatures equivalent to 6-9 quanta from 675 to 810 GHz for a mixer with a current density of 6.7 kA/cm^2. The RF bandwidth wasbroader than that of a conventional mixer using a full-wave junction with the same current density. |
