We performed a preliminary calibrated measurement of the output power of a Josephson arbitrary waveform synthesizer up to 1 GHz. We present the results and measurement procedure for generating quantum-based signals using an array of Josephson junctions

A fast negative impedance converter for JAWS load compensation

September 10, 2020
Author(s)
Jason Underwood, Stephen Pfeiffer, Geoffrey Palo
For accurate realization of the ac volt, the Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer (JAWS) must not be overly loaded by the electrical network in which it is used. The interaction between the on-chip inductance and the stray capacitance in the network

Continued Growth of IEEE RAS Standards Efforts

September 10, 2020
Author(s)
Craig I. Schlenoff
This has been a very eventful quarter for standardization efforts within the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS). Even the virtual nature of the 2020 International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) could not slow down the momentum of the
