THz HEB heterodyne receivers for space and ground based radio astronom
Sergey Cherednichenko, Vladimir Drakinskiy, Therese Berg
THz HEB heterodyne receivers for space and ground based radio astronomy Sergey Cherednichenko, Vladimir Drakinskiy, Therese Berg Abstract -- The paper discusses design, fabrication and test results of 1.4-1.9 THz hot-electron bolometer (HEB) mixers for the Herschel Space Observatory. The mixer performance was tested across its RF band as well as the IF band (2.4-4.8 GHz). The paper demonstrates th

EUROPEAN MICROWAVE ASSOCIATION EuMA Editorial François Deborgies, Tapani Närhi Microwaves in Space date back to almost 50 years ago. As a matter of fact, it all started in 1957 with the first "artificial satellite", Sputnik, which was simply an RF transmitter. Today, microwaves play a crucial role onboard any space vessel since the RF link is the umbilical cord to Earth. Microwave electronics is
