Description

This paper reports on our first mixer experiments with NbN-MgO-NbN junctions. The frequency range, around 200 GHz is still relatively low. A series array of two NbN-MgO-NbN junctions integrated in a dipole-antenna and a matching circuit to compensate for the junction capacitance and to match the real part of the mixer impedance to the antenna is used.
