Flux-Ramp Modulation for SQUID Multiplexing

Journal of Low Temperature Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

SQUIDs are typically operated in a flux-locked loop to linearize their response to input flux. However, a flux-locked loop is not possible with a microwave SQUID multiplexer. We describe an alternative technique called flux-ramp modulation and report its successful implementation.
