Millimeter wave engineering of distributed Josephson junction arrays

Josephson arrays are suitable for applications involving mm waves. Realizations of such systems typically involve structures that are large compared to the wavelength. Though many such systems are well established, there has been a shortage of generic modeling techniques, which would be simple enough for practical engineering, while quantitative. In this paper we apply the model we have recently developed to some device examples. We calculate the available output power of an array of unshunted SIS junctions. We also discuss the impact of power generation effects in Josephson voltage standards. We also extend the model to include partial synchronization. The analytic results are compared to simulated and experimental data.
