Well, I already have a 3458A, a 34420A, a GPSDO (with 10Mhz output), and so all I need is something that produces a fixed 10V (and 1V would be OK too).
I was thinking of something like the "Compact Josephson Junction Array" [CJJA] that is used for inter-comparisons, etc. This unit has an SIS array, and is very "finicky" to get working-- so something based on a SINIS array (highly damped) or something similar that can be used without having a PhD... It is already understood that NIST has the best solution for this if you want the "Cadillac" version, (and have virtually unlimited funds)-- but I don't have unlimited funds, and I don't need a programmable output, and I don't need to generate AC waveform, and I don't need or want all of the complexity. $400K is *WAY* out of my budget. I was looking more for something on the surplus market-- or some "cast away" JJA that someone is getting ready to throw into the dumpster-- something that nobody wants anymore that I can get working on a _very_limited_ budget... That's why I mentioned the CJJA, because that has the RF source and everything built-in (well, except for the programmable current source, but I can build those all day long in my sleep). -Ken _______________________________________________ volt-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volt-nuts and follow the instructions there.
