Abstract
An effective high frequency oscillator is made of a plurality of Josephson devices. A high frequency converter as a high frequency circuit is made of the high frequency oscillator, nonlinear superconductor devices, and transmission line. Josephson devices are connected in parallel to make a superconductor module. Then superconductive modules are connected in series for high frequency via a phase locking circuit such as a thin film type capacitor to make the high frequency oscillator. Consequently, the high frequency oscillator is used as a local oscillator for a frequency converter. The high frequency system comprises a high frequency package housing a high frequency circuit, a cooling unit including a low temperature stage in thermal contact with the high frequency package, and a shielding case for housing the high frequency circuit and the low temperature stage. The high frequency system of the present invention provides a small-sized and power-saving high frequency circuit having operational stability.
