Abstract :
Numerical calculations are carried out on harmonic mixing with an externally pumped Josephson junction. Bias conditions for optimum conversion efficiency are studied for a variety of junction parameters. The predicted noise temperature for harmonic mixing is compared with that for fundamental mixing at the same signal frequency.
