A Programmable Current-controlled Voltage Source for Simulation of Josephson Junction Arrays

This paper describes a current-controlled voltage source for simulation of Josephson junction arrays. The I-V characteristics of different Josephson junction arrays are simulated using a micro-controller, which can then calculate and generate an expected voltage according to input parameters including the number of junctions, microwave frequency and power, etc. This simulator can serve as an educational tool; it can also help reduce development costs of various PJVS applications.
