The present invention provides a method and device for determining the sideband
ratio of a superconducting mixer using a comb generator. The method includes the
steps of: (a) tentatively adjusting the sideband ratio of a mixer for calibration
of an output of the comb generator; (b) determining the signal intensity of a pseudo-celestial
signal oscillator for calibration of the output of the comb generator; (c) repeating
the steps (a) and (b) to derive the relation between the sideband radio of the
mixer for the comb-generator output calibration and the intensity of a pseudo-celestial
signal; (d) calibrating the output of the comb generator; and (e) obtaining the
sideband ratio of the mixer to be measured.
