Abstract

We present a comprehensive characterization of three 4×2 HEB mixer arrays developed for the Galactic/Extra-Galactic ULDB Spectroscopic Terahertz Observatory (GUSTO), a NASA balloon borne terahertz observatory. These arrays were designed for operation frequencies of 1.46, 1.9 and 4.7 THz, respectively. The results regarding sensitivity, IF bandwidth and LO power requirements are presented, including their performance in the GUSTO instrument in the lab.
