A fixed-tuned superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) receiver has been designed to operate in the 250-350-GHz frequency band. This receiver has a double-side-band noise temperature of between 35 and 45 K, or about 3h/spl nu//k/sub B/, over its entire operating band. Extensive characterization of the receiver has been carried out using techniques developed for submillimeter waves. The input noise, side-band ratio, 1 dB compression point, optimum LO drive level, and vector near-field beam profile have all been measured experimentally. The measurement techniques and results are presented and discussed.
