The 16th Workshop on Submillimeter-Wave Receiver Technologies in Eastern Asia was held in Nanjing on November 22-25, undertaken by Purple Mountain Observatory, CAS. Nearly 70 scientific research personnel from Japan, Korea, mainland China and Taiwan attended this workshop. The topical subjects of this workshop included Terahertz Projects, Systems and Instruments, Heterodyne and Direct Detectors, THz Local Oscillators, THz Optics, Components, and Other Techniques, and Backends for THz Systems. Delegates introduced research progresses related to their fields and communicated with the topic of development and collaboration in the future. The Workshop on Submillimeter-Wave Receiver Technologies in Eastern Asia was formed in 2000. The objectives of this workshop are to present the state-of-the-art and to explore innovative approaches for submillimeter-wave receiver systems and associated electrical, mechanical and thermal design and to discuss needs of future submillimeter-wave and THz receiver systems.
