It is shown that an RCL sweep oscillator can serve as a simple analogue of a Josephson-like junction with linear-periodic current-phase relation. The presentation includes the ac Josephson effect, response to external rf signals and the hysteresis in the dc characteristic. The analogue has obvious value for instructional purposes and is useful where numerical analysis becomes complicated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
