Abstract
A superconducting heterodyne receiver based on superconductor–insulator–superconductor (SIS) junctions and a bolometric receiver based on superconductor–insulator–normal metal (SIN) tunnel junctions developed at the Kotelnikov Institute is described. The noise temperature and noise equivalent power of such a receiver fit the requirements for the TELIS, BOOMERANG, OLIMPO, and LSPE aerostatborne radio telescopes, and the space-based SPICA and MILLIMETRON projects, among others. Applications of such receivers for medical diagnostics and remote control are described.
