    摘要: A dual function superconducting digitizer circuit which can selectively function either as an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) or as a time-to-digital converter (TDC). Superconducting ADCs and TDCs can provide performance far superior to that obtained using conventional electronics by taking advantage of the intrinsic properties—high switching speed, quantum accuracy, dispersion-less transmission lines, radiation hardness, and extremely low power dissipation—of superconductivity. Since both ADC and TDC functions are desired in most measurement systems, a dual-function digitizer is not only more attractive from a system integration perspective but is also more marketable.

    摘要: Digital mixers which permit mixing of asynchronous signals is constructed of Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) logic elements. The logic elements may include an RSFQ non-destructive readout cell (NDRO), an RSFQ D flip-flop, an RSFQ XOR circuit, and an RSFQ T flip-flop. A binary tree arrangement of T flip-flops can be used to provide in-phase and quadrature phase-divided replicas of a reference signal. The mixing elements can be either an XOR circuit, a dual port NDRO circuit functioning as a multiplexer or an RS type NDRO functioning as an AND gate. The RSFQ logic elements utilize Josephson junctions which operate in superconducting temperature domains.

    摘要: A transceiver architecture for wireless base stations wherein a broadband radio frequency signal is carried between at least one tower-mounted unit and a ground-based unit via optical fibers, or other non-distortive media, in either digital or analog format. Each tower-mounted unit (for both reception and transmission) has an antenna, analog amplifier and an electro-optical converter. The ground unit has ultrafast data converters and digital frequency translators, as well as signal linearizers, to compensate for nonlinear distortion in the amplifiers and optical links in both directions. In one embodiment of the invention, at least one of the digital data converters, frequency translators, and linearizers includes superconducting elements mounted on a cryocooler.
