The invention discloses a detection system for improving the stability of a high sensitivity terahertz mixer, which comprises a terahertz frequency band local oscillator signal source, a beam splitter, a silicon lens, a mixer, a coaxial three-way joint, a direct current blocker, an isolator, a low-temperature low-noise amplifier, a normal temperature intermediate-frequency amplifier, a band-pass filter, a device for converting an intermediate frequency power into a direct current voltage, a computer, a direct current bias power supply, a bias deice, a microwave source and a low temperature dewar. The invention also discloses a detection method for improving the stability of the high sensitivity terahertz mixer. In the invention, a feedback circuit is used to control a microwave power further lower than a terahertz power so as to compensate the instability of a terahertz local oscillator power; and by taking the HEB (Hot Electron Bolometer) mixer as an example, the Allen time of the mixer is prolonged to about 10 seconds from about 1 second and the temperature resolution is improved by 30 percent.
