Abstract

By employing an array of 620 high-T_c Josephson junctions, we have achieved a maximum quantum output voltage with approximate value of 0.1 V at a temperature of 79.2 K and a frequency of 77.465 GHz. We also demonstrate that steps on the current-voltage characteristic of an array of bicrystal junctions at voltages of 70 mV were flat over the current range of 150 muA with a relative uncertainty of 0.04 ppm.
