The non-linear quasiparticle tunnel current flowing in a distributed superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) transmission line resonator has been exploited in a low-noise heterodyne fixed-tuned waveguide receiver in the 600-700 GHz band. The mixer employs two half-wave or full-wave distributed SIS long junctions connected in series. These devices have been fabricated with optical lithography. At 654 GHz, a Y-factor of 1.79 has been recorded, corresponding to a double-side-band (DSB) receiver noise temperature of 198 K at an IF of 3 GHz.
