Abstract :
Using a novel chip architecture and cooling method, a superconducting Josephson Junction time domain reflectometer subsystem has been developed which provides wide bandwidth access to the room temperature environment. Presented is an overview of the subsystem, with emphasis on the cryogenic circuitry employed. Results and performance limitations are described.
