摘要
A theory of electron-heating mixer is developed, allowing to calculate all available characteristics of the device. It is shown that positive conversion gain is possible for such a mixers in the range from millimeter to near infrared wavelengths. The dynamic range and the optimum heterodyne power may be selected from a very wide interval by varying mixing element volume. Measurements made for Nb within the frequency range of 120-750 GHz confirm the theory. The conversion loss obtained at T = 1.6 K and normalized to the element reaches 0.3 dB in the intermediate frequency band of 40 MHz, possible noise temperature is 50 K. The estimation of noise temperature and output band for YBaCuO at T = 77 K yields 200 K and more than 10 GHz respectively.
