Experimental and Theoretical Characterisation of Josephson Self-coupling in Sub-Terahertz Flux-flow Oscillator
Abstract
We present experimental and numerical results for a flux flow oscillator based on superconducting Josephson junctions. Our computationally efficient theoretical model takes into account Josephson self-coupling of the flux flow oscillator and is in a good agreement with our experimental results and previous studies.
