A Study of a Narrow-Band Receiving System of Cold-Electron Bolometers for the 220 and 240 GHz Channels using an Oscillator Based on the High-Temperature YBCO Superconductor

We present the results of theoretical and experimental studies of the resonant properties of a single cell of a receiving system based on cold-electron bolometers (CEBs) with a double-slot antenna and curved coplanar lines, which is intended for receiving a signal in the range 220–240 GHz with a bandwidth of 5%. The resonant properties of a CEB located on the cryostat plate with a temperature of 0.3 K, are measured using an oscillator based on high-temperature superconductor (HTS) of yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO), placed inside the same cryostat on a plate with a temperature of 4 K, which allows one to obtain smooth amplitude-frequency characteristics.
