We report the gigahertz experimental results of time and frequency performance on YBCO high-temperature superconductor and gold coplanar transmission lines. An on-wafer direct probing measurement system was used to collect data at cryogenic temperatures on both YBCO and gold coplanar lines. The insertion loss of the 6 cm lines at a frequency of 2.5 GHz was measured to be −0.03 dB for the superconducting line compared to −10.4 dB for the gold line at 80 K. Eye-diagram measurements were performed on the packaged lines and show the correlation between the insertion loss of the line and the attenuation of a pseudorandom bit sequence. The measured eye height was 170 mV for the YBCO compared to 90 mV for a gold line at 1 Gbit/s and a temperature of 77 K for the packaged 6 cm lines.
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.
