TY - JOUR AB - The mathematical treatment of the time-dependent heat transfer differential equations, involving electronphonon (ep) cooling in the sensor film and phononphonon cooling in the sensorsubstrate system, has been developed in an earlier paper (Kaila M M 2002 J. Supercond. 15 185). In this paper, the effect of the ep coupling, in particular with reference to responsivity and conversion gain, is studied. This is done with reference to a typical high-temperature superconductor hot electron heterodyne receiver. An analysis is presented related to the effects of ep coupling and the phonon specific heat in particular, in the form of three-dimensional graphics.
