Realization and Modeling of Metamaterials Made of rf Superconducting Quantum-Interference Devices

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: A radio receiver that can tune to and digitize millions of frequencies per second, even if the signals are very weak, requires isolating the desired signal from stronger, unwanted noise. Scientists demonstrate a new kind of metamaterial, built with individual radio-frequency superconducting quantum-interference devices (rf SQUIDs), that allows such fast and long-range tuning by exploiting the large tunability of the nonlinear effective inductance of the Josephson junction in each SQUID.
