Abstract

Serial Josephson junction arrays connected to high-Q tank circuit are analysed and discussed. Numerical simulation of the systems shows two possible oscillation modes above resonance frequency when the tank impedance is capacitive. These are the inphase oscillation mode and the collectively antiphase oscillation mode. This fact is responsible for complicate switching dynamics, which can block parametric resonance excitation. Stability domains of the modes depend on McCumber parameter of the junctions. Increase in this parameter is favourable to the inphase mode. When the inphased oscillations are feasible, the resonance peak-like peculiarities on IV curve and Shapiro steps can be described with the analytic theory derived earlier for one-junction case and extended over the array systems.
