Abstract

For many years TRAM has used PbBi/in-oxide/Pb SIS mixers in the heterodyne receivers for radioastronomy at the telescope installations of Pico Veleta and Plateau de Bure. The frequency coverage of these receivers are (75-115)GHz, (130-180)GHz, and (210-270)GHz. The waveguide mixers, which use Nb/Al-oxide/Nb junctions are subjected to progressive updating. This paper concentrates on the work at (210-270)GHz and (320-370)GHz.
