Submillimeter-Wave Receivers - A Status Report

A recent survey of U.S. and Western European research groups, working on heterodyne submillimeter receivers in the 300-1000-GHz frequency range, is presented. This survey provides a description of the technology that each research group is developing, and information on the state-of-the-art of submillimeter receivers and local oscillator sources. A brief description of submillimeter receiver components is also given.
