  • Abstract
    The state-of-the art of terahertz heterodyne receivers are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on front-end components such as mixers and local oscillators. The back-end technology is described to a lesser extent. Recent developments, which are expected to have a major impact in the future, are also discussed.
