Abstract

We have developed a heterodyne receiver incorporating an SIS mixer for use on a radiotelescope operating at 1.3 mm wavelength. The mixer has a minimum conversion loss of <2 dB and contributes less than 60 K to a total double side band receiver noise temperature of about 80 K at 220 GHz and 230 GHz. To our knowledge this represents the lowest receiver noise ever reported in this frequency range.
