Abstract

This paper reviews our major technical achievement in high-T_c superconducting (HTS) terahertz (THz) receivers or heterodyne mixers in recent years. By virtue of innovative on-chip antenna/circuit designs, accurate device modelling and simulation, and advanced YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) step-edge junction technology, we have successfully developed a series of HTS Josephson THz mixers with superior performance in terms of operating temperature, intermediate-frequency (IF) bandwidth, conversion gain and noise temperature. These mixers serve as promising receiver frontends for THz wireless communication and sensing systems.
