摘要：
Based on a one dimensional heat transport equation for the electrons in a super-conducting hot electron bolometer (HEB) a model for a hot spot mixer is set up. The hot spot parameters are applied in a small signal oscillator model predicting IV curves and conversion gain. Besides its normal resistance and its IF bandwidth a HEB around its optimal operating point is sufficiently characterized by its hot spot length as a function of heating power. All mixer properties can be derived from this parameter set.
