Microstrip superconducting quantum interference device radio-frequency amplifier: Scattering parameters and input coupling

Journal Article · · Applied Physics Letters
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2902173· OSTI ID:957184
The scattering parameters of an amplifier based on a dc Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID) are directly measured at 4.2 K. The results can be described using an equivalent circuit model of the fundamental resonance of the microstrip resonator which forms the input of the amplifier. The circuit model is used to determine the series capacitance required for critical coupling of the microstrip to the input circuit.
