circuits, and give an example of a broadband coplanar SIS mixer with an array
of junctions. For circuits using series arrays of devices, it is shown that
there is no trade-off between the attainable bandwidth and the number of
devices in the array so long as the number of devices does not exceed a
critical value.

In the case of the simple circuit of Fig. 1(a), connected via a lossless
matching
network to a resistive source, Bode [1] showed that the reflection
coeff ient
p is constrained by the integral equation:

Inspection of (1) indicates that the lowest value of the upper bound of hol
(02 is achieved when Ipl - pa
(p. in Fig. 2) within the frequency band w i
within that band , and IPI

therefore coincides with the solid curve in Fig. 2. The integral in (1) is
then simply evaluated, giving

It is apparent that p a,min depends on the desired bandwidth
on the location of the band along the frequency axis.

Fano [2] extended the work of Bode to include a more general load
equivalent circuit for the case of low-pass matching (i.e., for w i .... 0 in
Fig. 2). This can be applied to the case of band-pass matching by using the
standard low-pass to band-pass mapping, ca (ax(c0/(0.-(.0x/(0), which transforms
all inductors and capacitors in the circuit into series or parallel LC
resonators. However, this transformation is not applicable to the device
described by Fig. 1(b), as the terminals of the capacitor are not accessible
for connection of a parallel inductor. The procedure of Fano is applied
below, modified slightly to avoid using a low-pass to band-pass
transformation, to determine the lowest possible value of the upper bound of
the magnitude of the reflection coefficient within a given frequency band, for
the circuit of Fig. 1(b).
The given device and its external matching circuit are depicted in
Fig. 3. Following Fano, the best possible match over a specified frequency
band is deduced from consideration of the function F(s)
111(1/p 1 (s)), where
S a + jco is the complex frequency variable. Expanding F(s) as a Taylor

In the degenerate case, when the first element of the optimum matching

Equations (16), (I6a), (22), and (22a) have been solved for a range of
values of XL and Bc. As the present work was done in the context of SIS mixer
design, values of XL and Bc appropriate to SIS mixers are used in the examples
below. It should be noted that Bc is not the familiar woR N C J product of the
SIS junction(s), but is woRuC j , where Rsy is the small signal RE' input
impedance of the mixer. Likewise, XL - cooLIRRy. (For a well designed SIS
mixer, Ptilp usually lies within a factor of -3 of P14; i.e., 4/3 RRT 3RN

The Bode limit, indicated in Figs. 5 and 6 by the dashed curves, applies
when L is less than the quantity Ls, whose value depends on the other elements
of the equivalent circuit and the desired bandwidth. When L ..1; Ls, the match
bandwidth is not limited by L, but
only by C and R. In this case, the first
network
is a series inductance (Ls -L)
element of the optimum matching
effectively augmenting L. This is the degenerate case discussed above. When
L exceeds Ls (the non-degenerate case), it too limits the attainable match
bandwidth of the circuits, as indicated in the figures.
Application to Mixers
caution
Some
is required in interpreting the results of Figs. 5 and 6 in
the context of matching to double sideband mixers. While the Ipl curves in
these figures indicate the range of variation of the source impedance
seen by
the intrinsic mixing device (R in Flg. I) the loss (1/(1 -Ip1 2 ]) curves should
not be regarded simply as part of the conversion loss of the mixer which can
be eliminated by tuning. This is because the signal frequency input impedance
of a mixer depends in part on the image frequency embedding impedance. If the
signal and image circuits of the mixer are physically the same, tuning the
circuit changes the image termination and therefore the signal frequency input
impedance of the mixer. In effect, the device resistance R at the signal
frequency becomes a function of the matching circuit, and the minimum
conversion loss does not, in general, occur for a matched input.
The dependence of the performance of a typical 230 GHz double sideband
SIS mixer receiver on embedding admittance is indicated in Fig. 7, which shows
contour plots of the mixer and receiver parameters plotted on Smith charts of
RF embedding admittance (i.e., in the (-p)-plane) normalized to
the optimum
source c onductance l iRs,opt ( Rs,opt is defined in the A pPendix) . The receiver
includes an IF amplifier with Tyr .... 4 K, and an IF isolator at 4 K. The IF
load impedance Z ip is fixed and equal to Rs ,opt . Note that the source
(embedding) admittance is defined to include the capacitance of the
junction(s), and is assumed equal at the upper and lower sideband frequencies.
The mixer gain and receiver noise temperature are shown as single-sideband
(SSB) quantities. Further details of the mixer and the method of analysis are
given in the Appendix.
Fig. 7 clearly demonstrates three quantum characteristics of SIS mixers
that are not possible in classical diode mixers: (i) the (SSB) conversion
loss is less than the 3 dB classical limit for a DSB mixer, (ii) the contours
are asymmetrical about the real axis, an effect caused by the quantum
susceptance of the SIS junction, and (iii) the output resistance can be
negative, which is impossible in classical resistive mixers. The significance
of the negative output resistance is discussed further below.

On the contour plot of R out/Z EE. in Fig. 7, the transition of the output
impedance from a large positive value to a large negative value is quite
sudden_ However, if the contours were re-plotted as output conductance, the
transition from positive, through zero, to negative would be quite smooth and
continuous, and there is no reason to expect any sudden change in receiver
performance as this occurs. Indeed, when tuning a receiver, this transition
can often be observed on the pumped I-V curve as the differential conductance
at the bias point goes from positive, through zero, to negative. However,
under certain conditions, the presence of negative output resistance can have
two possibly adverse effects: (i) it can cause (small-signal) instability and
oscillation in the RF, IF, or bias circuits, and (ii) in a series array of
junctions, negative DC differential resistance can cause instability in the
biasing of the junctions and the division of the LO voltage between them.
These will be discussed further below. A third possible concern is that noise
from the IF amplifier or isolator, incident on the IF port of the mixer, will
be reflected with gain back into the amplifier from the negative output
resistance of the mixer. This, however, is taken into account in the analysis
used to generate Fig. 7.
(i) A device with negative (differential) resistance is potentially
unstable. Depending on the device, it may be stable with a high impedance
load or with a low impedance, as can be demonstrated by considering series and
parallel LRC circuits with negative resistance. (Analysis of the time-domain
differential equations describing these circuits shows that the former is
stabilized by a high resistance load, and the latter by a low resistance
load.) In general, to determine the stability of a negative resistance device
connected to a load, the complex impedance of the device and load must be
known at all frequencies. It is possible, however, to make some general
observations about the nature of the stability of mixers with negative
resistance. With no LO power applied, an SIS junction (or array) is stable,
regardless of the embedding impedance Z,(40, and the reflection coefficient of
13
the junction
(or array) with respect tow the embedding impedance,
IP10,0 I - IZ J -Z:I/1Z 4 A-Z e 1 S 1 [ 1 ], here Z(w) is the (small signal)
can only ensure that, as the LO power is increased from zero to the operating
level (usually a 1), the gain does not become large within the normal IF
band, for which the signal, image, and IF embedding impedances are known. In
the region of negative IF output resistance In Fig. 7, for example, the
1.9 almost to the edge of the Smith chart, and no
magnitude of Iltout/Z IF I
instability would be expected at frequencies where the IF load impedance Zu
remains near its nominal value. Instability could occur far above the IF band
if the bias -T, circulator, or amplifier exhibited a resonance which would
allow Z 1 (c41.) Z 9 (cJ.) - 0 to be satisfied. For the broadband SIS mixers
reported to date, this has not, apparently, been a problem.
(ii) The second and least predictable effect of negative resistance has
been observed in fixed-tuned SIS mixers using series arrays of SIS junctions
[4]. It is suspected that negative DC differential resistance in a series
array can cause an unstable situation in which the individual junctions become
unequally biased and unequally driven by the LO. Ultimately, a stable dynamic
state is reached in which the junctions remain unequally biased and driven.
As this instability appears to be avoided in mechanically tunable mixers using
arrays of SIS junctions with integrated tuning circuits, similar to those used
in [4], we surmise that it can be avoided by appropriate design of the
embedding impedance as a function of frequency.
VII Practical Constraints on the Series Inductance
For integrated circuits, such as mixers, multipliers, switches, and
modulators, in the 400-400 GHz range, several basic circuit configurations
are possible. These Include waveguide mounts, micros trip with conductors on
one or both sides of the substrate, suspended stripline, and coplanar
waveguide circuits. Of these, coplanar waveguide has two major advantages:
( i ) it allows the use of a relatively thick substrate (e .g., 0.0035" for a
200-300 GHz mixer (4]), and (ii) with the center conductor and ground-plane on
the same side of the Tubstrate, transmission line dimensions can be kept small
to minimize the parasitic inductance and capacitance associated with a series
array of devices, which can ultimately limit the bandwidth of the circuit. A
broadband transducer from coplanar waveguide to rectangular waveguide can be
made using an intermediate section of suspended stripline, as described in
(51.
In practical applications, a series array of devices may be preferable
to a single device for two reasons. Firstly, for a given overall impedance

Although the question of how closely the Bode and Fano bandwidth limits
can be approached using practical circuits is outside the scope of the present
work, it is informative to examine a realistic example. We choose a 250 GHz
mixer with a coplanar array of SIS junctions, and a matching circuit of
moderate complexity. A four junction coplanar array, as shown in Fig.
connected to a matching network containing a series capacitor and four
transmission lines in series, similar, except for the capacitor, to the tuning
circuit described in (7]. The complete circuit is shown in Fig. 11 Note
that the electrical length of the array of junctions is small, and the
equivalent circuit of Fig. 1(b) is applicable. The capacitor C A was initially
adjusted to make the impedance of the SIS array real at the center frequency,
lines 1, 2, and 3 were set to a quarter wavelength, and the fourth line set to
half a wavelength. The microwave circuit design program MMICAD [15] was then

The theoretical limit on the match bandwidth of the circuit of Fig. 1(b)
was derived by Fano for the law-pass case, and thence for the band-pass case
via the standard low-pass to band-pass mapping in which the inductors and
capacitors are transformed into series and parallel Lc resonators. When the
terminals of the intrinsic device are not accessible, it is not possible to
connect an inductor in parallel with C, and the low-pass to band-pass mapping
cannot be used. Here, Fano's analysis has been extended to determine the
theoretical limit on the match bandwidth of the circuit of Fig. 1(b) without
using the frequency mapping. For the circuit of Fig. 1(c), the theory of Fano
has been used, with the low-pass to band-pass frequency mapping, to determine
the match bandwidth. For the circuit of Fig. 1(a), the theory of Bode was
used.
For the equivalent circuits of Figs. 1(b) and (c), it is found that the
series inductance L limits the match bandwidth only when it exceeds a value
Ls dependent on the other circuit elements. For values of L less than L,
Bode's bandwidth limit is theoretically attainable, and there is no
fundamental reason to make L smaller than Ls when designing a broadband
circuit. We conclude that using a series array of N j devices imposes no
restriction on the theoretically attainable bandwidth of the circuit as long
as N J does not exceed the number for which the series inductance of the array
is equal to Ls.
In circuits using series arrays of devices, the power handling capacity
or saturation level depends on N j 2 It is possible that in designing a
broadband circuit, there will a conflict between power handling (requiring
more devices) and bandwidth (requiring fewer devices) if the series inductance
of the array exceeds L.
The relevance of the (RI) input match to the overall performance of
double sideband mixer receivers is discussed using the example of a 250 GHz
SIS mixer with typical niobium junctions. It is found that acceptable
performance results if the input reflection coefficient IPI

mixer is realized in a coplanar waveguide circuit, it is shown that a useful
