were obtained with a black body radiation source and series of band-pass filters. The specially designed SINIS arrays are intended to detect 90 GHz radiation at the “BigTelescopeAlt-azimuthal” (romanized Russian: “Bolshoi Teleskop Alt-azimutalnyi”, BTA) with noise equivalent power of less than 10−16
W·Hz−1/2. The receiver in a 3He cryostat with an optical window was mounted at the Nasmyth focus of the BTA and tested at a temperature of 260 mK with a IMPATT diode radiation source.

Currently, work is underway to implement the SINIS detectors on a practical instrument, that is, the optical observatory “BigTelescopeAlt-azimuthal” (BTA SAO RAS) for observations in the range of 75–110 GHz. The choice of an optical observatory is due to the fact that there are no large-scale
