Based on the hypothesis that the macroscopic superconducting shielding current on the surface of a porous granular superconductor is short lived due to the action of thermal noise, a dispersive-mode theory for a high-temperature radio-frequency superconducting quantum interference device (rf SQUID) is suggested. In this theory, the effect of the SQUID ring on the resonant tank circuit is an effective inductance {ital L}{sub {ital e}}, {ital L}{sub {ital e}}=k{sup 2}FL{sub T}, where {ital k} is the coupling coefficient between the SQUID ring and the resonant tank circuit with inductance {ital L}{sub {ital T}}, and {ital F} is a periodic function of external flux {Phi}{sub dc} with a period of flux quantum {Phi}{sub 0}. The phenomena that the weak-link-rf-SQUID flux-receiving area defined by the hole of the SQUID ring and the bulk-rf-SQUID flux-receiving area, which is determined by an annular surface region with a thickness of the effective penetration depth {lambda}{sub {ital e}}, can be interpreted. The theory is qualitatively consistent with available experimental results.
