OPERATION OF SAIL HTS DIGITAL CIRCUITS NEAR 1 GHZ

Using Series Array Interferometer Logic (SAIL) components, we have dem onstrated an HTS gate driving an exclusive OR, whose second input is b eing driven at 1 GHz. This digital technique serves as an output inter face: data is placed on an rf carrier as phase information (Phase Shif t Keying). Low voltage, baseband, differential data can be amplified b y low noise, narrow bandwidth, single-ended amplifiers. A simple demod ulator completes the connection to standard semiconductor electronics.
