We report on the high frequency properties of high-Tcsuperconductor (HTS) Josephson junctions using mixing experiments in the frequency range 78 GHz-119 GHz. Experiments with YBa2Cu3O7(YBCO) step-edge (SEJ) and bicrystal junctions on LaAlO3and MgO substrates have been performed. In order to achieve optimal junction properties we performed an oxygen plasma treatment. Junctions with RSJ-like current voltage characteristics were mounted into a heterodyne mixing setup. We obtained conversion efficiencies around-40 dB and heterodyne mixing response above 1 THz. For SEJs we observed mixing response related to a second junction in series. We also investigated self-mixing properties. |
