  • Abstract
    The noise properties of the simple relaxation-oscillation-driven DC SQUIDs (RO-SQUIDs) have been studied. A limitation of its internal energy sensitivity Ev at a level close to 4×10 -31 J/Hz due to the influence of the Josephson junction plasma oscillation has been found for the 5-μm-design-rule technology. The signal characteristics with the transfer flux-to-voltage factor up to 2 mV/Φ0 and equivalent noise flux of about 1.3×10-6 Φ0/Hz1/2 in the new all-niobium version of the balanced RO-SQUID have been measured
