Abstract

The operation of a SQUID array with 100 DC SQUIDs has been demonstrated using a single flux-locked loop. The SQUID array had a maximum dynamic range of +or-1.3*10/sup 8// square root (Hz) in the low frequency region, a high slewing rate over a wide frequency range, and an extrinsic white noise energy sensitivity of 6*10/sup -31/J/Hz. These data were obtained with a very simple feedback circuit made from three inexpensive operational amplifiers that operated in the DC-feedback mode. The feedback loop did not have any impedance matching circuit between the SQUID array and the room temperature electronics. Our results show that a SQUID array can have a significant impact on those applications that demand good noise performance and a very high dynamic range. >
