  • Patent number: 5854604
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a low phase noise RF signal where the output from a low phase-noise stabilized local oscillator operating at relatively high frequencies in the GHz range is combined in a power combiner with a digital data stream generated by a digital waveform generator and which is representative of one or more analog signals in a predetermined frequency spectrum of relatively lower RF frequencies in the MHz range. The combined signal is applied to a Josephson junction array whose output consists of a data stream including pulses of precise constant amplitude and which is then fed to a bandpass filter circuit having a predetermined bandpass. The filter extracts the lower frequency analog signal but now consisting of a signal having low phase-noise.
