Abstract
For Josephson bicrystal YBaCuO junctions 3–1.5 µm in size, the response to an external signal with a frequency of 165 GHz was measured. Receivers with similar ICRN values at helium temperatures and different RN values were chosen for the study. The amplitudes of the Shapiro steps were measured for various external signal powers and sample temperatures. The dependence of the output voltage noise on the operating point, temperature, and external signal power was measured. It is shown that fluctuations of the critical current have the greatest influence on the output noise of the receiver. The volt-watt responsivity and noise-equivalent power were evaluated for a 165 GHz external signal. The experimental results are compared with numerical calculations based on the model of a resistive-capacitive shunted Josephson junction. Optimal temperature operating ranges for the use of each structure were shown.
