摘要：
Waveguide SIS milers in which Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb tunnel junctions are integrated with NbTiN/SiO2/Al tuning circuits are shown to yield receiver noise temperatures as low as 565 K at 970 GHz, Analyzing the noise and gain of one such receiver, it is shown that the NbTiN ground plane is low-loss (< 0.6 dB) at 970 GHz, These results are in good agreement with results obtained previously with a quasi-optical mixer incorporating a similar tuning circuit. A decrease in sensitivity above 1 THz is attributed to increasing loss in the NbTiN.
