Notes:
Millimeter-wave detection was investigated using a step-edge microbridge Josephson junction fabricated by a YBaCuO thin film for both the video detection and harmonic mixing detection. Current–voltage (I–V) characteristics, which could be described by the resistively shunted junction (RSJ) model, were obtained up to 70 K with the IcR product of 150 μV at 70 K. The responsivity and noise equivalent input power were calculated as 2400 W/V and 4.4×10−14 W/(square root of)Hz, respectively, in the video detection assuming the RSJ model approximation. Clear dependence of the intermediate frequency output on the applied dc bias voltage was observed in the harmonic mixing detection with the harmonic numbers of 5–16, reflecting the change of dynamic resistance at the constant voltage steps induced by the local oscillation signal on the I–V curve. A minimum detection power of −59.4 dB m and a conversion efficiency (η) of −49.6 dB were obtained for the harmonic number (N) of 5 at 60 K. The relationship between the η and N was expressed as η∝N−2.2.
