Summary :

In this paper we focus on the numerical simulation of the mixing behaviors of distributed superconducting junction arrays at 1.2 THz. A novel type of superconducting tunnel junctions, i.e., NbN/AlN/Nb, which have a relatively high gap voltage (4.3 mV) and can reach a critical current density as high as several tens of kA/cm², are proposed for this characterization along with conventional Nb/AlOx/Nb junctions. The former is incorporated with a NbN/SiO₂/Al tuning circuit, and the latter with a Nb/SiO₂/Al and a NbTiN/SiO₂/Al tuning circuits. The noise performance, local-oscillator power requirement, IF bandwidth, and optimum embedding impedance are thoroughly characterized for the two types of distributed superconducting junction arrays.
