(author)We describe the performance of the Band 3 and Band 4 Flight Model mixer units for Herschel/HIFI Instrument. These units are part of the Focal Plane Unit of HIFI. The band 3 and 4 mixer units cover the 800-960 GHz and 960-1120 GHz frequency range and have a 4-8 GHz IF frequency band. The sensitivities of the mixers within the HIFI setting are...conference paper 2006

Jackson, B.D. (author), De Lange, G. (author), Zijlstra, T. (author), Kroug, M. (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author), Stern, J.A. (author)Integrating NbTiN-based microstrip tuning circuits with traditional Nb superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) junctions enables the low-noise operation regime of SIS mixers to be extended from below 0.7?to?1.15?THz. In particular, mixers incorporating a NbTiN/SiO2/NbTiN microstrip tuning circuit offer low-noise performance below 0.8–0.85...journal article 2005
