We are developing an SIS-mixer-based microwave amplifier that is expected to have the low-noise and low-power consumption required for multi-pixel heterodyne SIS receivers. The amplifier employs two SIS mixers as up/down frequency converters and a Josephson array oscillator as a local oscillator. We will show the status of the development.
