Abstract

Flux flow oscillators (FFO) have been experimentally investigated at frequencies up to 850 GHz. At 440 GHz the received power in an on-chip integrated SIS mixer is 5 μW. The first experimental measurements of the FFO linewidth as a function of applied dc bias current and magnetic field have been performed both for two autonomous FFOs and with one of the FFOs injection-locked to a narrow-band external microwave source. By beating the two autonomous FFOs an integral spectral linewidth as low as 750 kHz is measured at 280 GHz. Mechanisms leading to a broadening of the FFO linewidth are discussed. Experimentally it is shown that the FFO can be used as harmonic generator
