  • Abstract
    We present experimental results on the emission from phase-locked two-dimensional arrays of Josephson junctions. We have coupled the emission from 10/spl times/10 arrays to a room-temperature mixer through a fin-line antenna and WR-12 waveguide. A single voltage-tunable peak was detected up to 230 GHz. A stripline resonance in antenna reduced the array´s dynamic resistance and thereby the emission linewidth to as low as 10 kHz. We extract an effective noise temperature of 14 K from the linewidth data. When the array´s emission was coupled to an on-chip detector junction through a dc blocking capacitor, we detected voltage-tunable emission from 75 GHz up to 300 GHz, and in some circuits emission above 400 GHz. Here, the coherent power spectrum depends on internal resonances.<>
