Abstract :
Using Series Array Interferometer Logic (SAIL) components, we have demonstrated an HTS gate driving an exclusive OR, whose second input is being driven at 1 GHz. This digital technique serves as an output interface: data is placed on an rf carrier as phase information (Phase Shift Keying). Low voltage, baseband, differential data can be amplified by low noise, narrow bandwidth, single-ended amplifiers. A simple demodulator completes the connection to standard semiconductor electronics.<>
