Abstract
SQUIDs are very useful devices for the amplification of low-level Radio-frequency (RF) and microwave signals. They offer lower noise and much lower power dissipation compared to semiconductor amplifiers; noise temperatures only slightly above the quantum limit can be achieved. This article gives an overview of the current status of radio-frequency amplifiers based on dc SQUIDs and provides data on amplifier noise temperature, input and output impedance, and nonlinearities.
