Conclusion
· New superconducting element, a cryogenic phase detector (CPD) has been proposed and successfully tested. · SIS junction can operate as a phase detector with reasonably large output current · Sinusoidal response of the CPD has been measured at the variation of the phase shift between the input signals · Obtained data demonstrate that CPD intrinsically could operate with effective bandwidth more than 100 MHz · Phase locking of an FFO by CPD with spectral ratio as high as 80 % has been demonstrated in the preliminary experiments · Practical application of the CPD looks especially promising for the development of SIR arrays
