Khosropanah, P. (author), Gao, J.R. (author), Laauwen, W.M. (author), Hajenius, M. (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author)We have studied the sensitivity of a superconducting NbN hot electron bolometer mixer integrated with a spiral antenna at 4.3?THz. Using hot/cold blackbody loads and a beam splitter all in vacuum, we measured a double sideband receiver noise temperature of 1300?K at the optimum local oscillator (LO) power of 330?nW, which is about 12 times the...journal article 2007
