Investigations on a new device application of the a. c. Josephson effect

  • Published:
Acta Physica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae

Abstract

After theoretical considerations concerning the properties of the a. c. Josephson effect in case of strip-line type superconducting tunnel junctions, the noise characteristics of these devices are discussed. By making use of the highly nonlinear features together with inherent low-noise a special parametric converter type pulse amplifier has been constructed. The experimental results obtained are presented and suggestions are given for further development.
