To synchronize these SFQ oscillators, a common constant bias current is supplied to the SFQ oscillators without any bias resistors. When an SFQ oscillator oscillates at a frequency of f, the average voltage across the Josephson junction comprising the SFQ oscillator is fΦ_o, where fΦ_o is the flux quantum in the superconductor. The bias currents supplied to the SFQ oscillators are redistributed to eliminate the average voltage difference output from the SFQ oscillators. As a result, the oscillation frequencies of all the SFQ oscillators are synchronized. Simulation results indicate that SFQ oscillators with an oscillation frequency difference of more than 50 GHz can be synchronized. We experimentally demonstrate the frequency synchronization of two SFQ oscillators composed of circular Josephson transmission lines. Frequency synchronization is expected to contribute toward the development of a low-power stable clock source stabilizing SFQ circuit operation.}, title = {Frequency synchronization of single flux quantum oscillators}, volume = {34}, year = {2021} }
