Abstract
The present study is the extension of a recent theory of high-TC RF SQUIDs, operating in the presence of large thermal fluctuations. First, the explicit analytical expressions for the amplitudes of higher harmonics of the current circulating in a SQUID loop which are necessary for the determination of the junction critical current IC and the inductive coupling coefficient of the SQUID loop to its tank circuit, k2 , are found. Second, in order to find the junction resistance R with acceptable accuracy, the solution of Fokker–Plank equation to first order in parameter q = ωL/R, where ω is a bias frequency, L is a loop inductance, is obtained. These results allow one to derive the simple expressions for the determination of the junction critical current IC, its normal resistance R, and the inductive coupling coefficient of the SQUID loop to its tank circuit, k2 , from the experimental measured small signal voltage-frequency characteristics.
