  • Abstract
    We present performance measurements of Nb-Al2O3-Nb (SIS) mixers on Si-membranes for radio frequencies (280-380 GHz) with an IF band from 4 to 12 GHz. We use beamlead technology to mount the devices in waveguide mixerblocks. These mixers will be used in a 7 pixel focal plane array for astronomy.
