Abstract
We present a basic description of Josephson junctions and discuss thei r use as GHz and THz oscillators. The resistively shunted junction mod el is used to calculate the available power, linewidth, and operating frequency of the oscillators. We discuss how phase-locked arrays of ju nctions are used to achieve higher power and narrower linewidth. Two e xperimental examples of phase-locked emission are shown: one from on-c hip detection circuits at 150 GHz and one detected off-chip showing a 13-kHz linewidth at 88.8 GHz.
