Abstract

A reference-current optimizing apparatus of a Reference Junction Double Relaxation Oscillation SQUID (RJ-DROS) with a signal SQUID and a reference junction for detecting a magnetic flux signal is provided. The reference-current optimizing apparatus includes a voltage controller for converting a digital signal into an output voltage; a buffer for receiving the output voltage and preventing a current generated in the RJ-DROS from flowing inversely into the reference-current optimizing apparatus; a low-pass filter for eliminating a noise mixed in an output voltage of the buffer; and a resistor for converting an output voltage of the low-pass filter into a current and providing both ends of the reference junction with the current. The reference-current optimizing apparatus may also include a preamplifier having a number of junction bipolar transistors.

Claims (13)

1. A reference-current optimizing apparatus of a Reference Junction Double Relaxation Oscillation SQUID (RJ-DROS) with a signal SQUID and a reference junction for detecting a magnetic flux signal, comprising:

a voltage controller for converting a digital signal into an output voltage;

a buffer for receiving the output voltage and preventing a current generated in the RJ-DROS from flowing inversely into the reference-current optimizing apparatus;

a low-pass filter for eliminating a noise mixed in an output voltage of the buffer; and

a resistor for converting an output voltage of the low-pass filter into a current and providing both ends of the reference junction with the current.

2. The reference-current optimizing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the reference-current optimizing apparatus is connected to the reference junction of the RJ-DROS, thus controlling a magnetic flux-voltage conversion characteristic of the RJ-DROS.

3. The reference-current optimizing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a preamplifier is connected to both ends of the reference junction, and when a reference current of the reference junction is changed by an input current of the preamplifier or the RJ-DROS exceeds an optimal condition, the reference-current optimizing apparatus is connected to the reference junction of the RJ-DROS, thus controlling the reference current to become an optimal reference current.

4. The reference-current optimizing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a preamplifier is connected to both ends of the reference junction, and when an input current of the preamplifier becomes higher than a critical current of the reference junction and the reference junction is saturated to a junction voltage, the reference-current optimizing apparatus is connected to the reference junction of the RJ-DROS, thus offsetting the input current of the preamplifier.

5. A reference-current optimizing apparatus of a DROS, comprising:

a preamplifier for receiving electrical power from an apparatus according to claim 1 through an input electrical wire and causing a current to flow through the RJ-DROS, the preamplifier including a plurality of junction bipolar transistors.

6. The reference-current optimizing apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the input electric wire of the preamplifier serves as a reference current control electric wire.

7. The reference-current optimizing apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the reference-current optimizing apparatus is connected to a reference junction of the RJ-DROS, thus controlling a reference current, and

a voltage of the reference junction is measured by removing an input current of the preamplifier.
