Abstract
To implement a flux quanta counting (FQC) scheme in the wide range magnetic field measurement using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), we present a SQUID proportional feedback amplifier (PFA) circuit. It is a simplified version of the direct readout flux-locked loop (FLL) electronics without an integrator. It achieved a periodically repeated (with a period of 1Φ0), quasi-linear flux-to-voltage characteristics with an input range extended to 2Φ0. Its working point is reset spontaneously with 1Φ0 of flux jump caused by the over range flux input. The resultant wide range measurement is achieved by the synthesis of the PFA voltage output and the flux jumps recorded using the FQC scheme. We simulated and experimentally verified the working principles of SQUID PFA. The FQC scheme using SQUID PFA was demonstrated with measurements in both shielded and unshielded environment. SQUID PFA is simple and easy-to-operate suited for applications in the Earth's magnetic field.
