Conversion Efficiency and Noise Measurements of SIS Array Mixers
Quasiparticle heterodyne mixers which use series arrays [1] of Pb-alloy SIS tunnel junctions have been tested at 36 GHz. These arrays each showed a conversion loss of approximately 5dB. Single-sideband noise temperatures of 9.8 ± 5K, 34 ± 12 K, and 85 ± 25 K were measured for 1, 10 and 50 junction arrays respectively. Significantly increased saturation levels were observed for the 10 and 50 junction arrays.
