Description

In rf SQUID operation, nearby metal may influence the field distribution and the resonant frequency of the tank circuit, and then cause low frequency noise in the rf SQUID. Using an electromagnetic simulation method, we analysed the influence of metal on the resonant frequencies of three kinds of tank circuit: coplanar resonator, dielectric resonator and lumped-element tank circuit. The simulation results show that metal has the biggest influence on the coplanar resonator and the smallest influence on the dielectric resonator. This is why the high-Tc rf SQUID with a dielectric resonator has less low frequency noise than that with a coplanar resonator
