  • Abstract
    This paper reviews high speed analog applications of Josephson switching devices. The design and performance of two different analog sampling circuits is described. A method is proposed for delivering room temperature signals to these samplers with 30 GHz or more of bandwidth. An analog-to-digital converter based on quantum interference comparators is also described. This device has achieved conversion rates of 2 × 109samples per second.
