摘要： We describe a microwave amplifier based on the superconducting low-inductance undulatory galvanometer (SLUG). The SLUG is embedded in a microstrip resonator, and the signal current is injected directly into the device loop. Measurements at 30 mK show gains of 25 dB at 3 GHz and 15 dB at 9 GHz. Amplifier performance is well described by a simple numerical model based on the Josephson junction phase dynamics. We expect optimized devices based on high critical current junctions to achieve gain greater than 15 dB, bandwidth of several hundred MHz, and added noise of order one quantum in the frequency range of 5-10 GHz. 出版者： AIP Publishing 出版日期： 2012-02-06 出處： Applied Physics Letters, 2012-02, Vol.100 (6), p.63503--063503-3 資源來源： AIP Publishing 版權： 2012 American Institute of Physics 識別號： ISSN: 0003-6951 識別號： EISSN: 1077-3118 識別號： DOI: 10.1063/1.3682309 識別號： CODEN: APPLAB
