    摘要: A transposed delay line oscillator including a mode selection filter and a transposed delay line is provided. An output of the transposed delay line is coupled to an input of the mode selection filter to establish an oscillator loop. Based on the transposed delay line output, the mode selection filter generates a mode selection signal including an isolated oscillatory mode, in a Radio Frequency (RF) band. The transposed delay line receives the mode selection signal for transposition to an intermediate frequency of an intermediate frequency (IF) delay line. The IF delay line includes a delay filter and a phase noise suppression loop configured to suppress de-correlated transposition phase noise resulting from a delay of the delay filter. Suppression of phase noise in the IF delay line enables cancellation of transposition phase noise when transposing the IF delay line output to the RF band.

    摘要: A technique relates to a pulse shaping of microwave signals. A nondegenerate mixing device receives signals and a time-varying magnetic flux via input ports. The nondegenerate mixing device uses the signals and the time-varying magnetic flux to generate an output signal on an output port, the output signal having a waveform profile set by the time-varying magnetic flux.

    摘要: Superconducting device applications implemented with two surface acoustic wave resonators coupled to a Josephson ring modulator are provided. A method can include receiving, by a unitary Josephson mixer and from a first superconducting surface acoustic wave resonator of a superconducting device, a first surface acoustic wave signal that comprises one or more phonons that resonate at a first frequency, and receiving, by the unitary Josephson mixer and from a radio frequency source operatively coupled to the unitary Josephson mixer, a radio frequency control signal. The method can also include mixing the first surface acoustic wave signal and the radio frequency control signal and outputting a second surface acoustic wave signal based on mixing the first surface acoustic wave signal and the radio frequency control signal. The second surface acoustic wave signal can comprise one or more phonons that resonate at a second frequency.
