Abstract
A 90 GHz band planar-type superconducting mixer using Ba1-xKxBiO3 (BKB O) bicrystal junctions was fabricated on a MgO bicrystal substrate. Th e mixer is integrated with microwave circuits and two junctions, but w e could not operate the mixer in image rejection mode because of proce ss damage to the junction properties. However we confirmed the mixing operation; the intermediate frequency (IF) signal was observed up to 1 7K (LO = 87 GHz, RF = 92 GHz).
