Josephson-voltage-standard-locked sine wave synthesizer: Implementation and preliminary results

Abstract

This paper describes a Josephson-voltage-standard-locked synthesizer where a calibrator is used as a sine wave generator whose output is controlled by the calculable fundamental of the stepwise sinusoidal wave generated by a SINIS Josephson array. Such a system combines the versatility of a calibrator with the stability and accuracy of the Josephson voltage standard.
