Description
YBaCuO ceramics bridge is used for investigation of Josephson transitions (JT). At 77 K, JT critical current was 1.3 mA. JT VAC consisted of 2 sections: the first one had 30 mOhm differential resistance at currents ranging from the critical one to 6.5 mA, and the second section - 64 mOhm resistance. Microwave power of about 15-20 MW with 7.8 GHz carrier frequency modulated by 1 kHz meander was applied to the bridge through microband transformer of PTL impedance (50/3 Ohm). The experimental results show that V(T) dependence has two maximums at 81 and 91 K which can correspond to the temperatures of superconductivity phase transitions. In addition, voltage pointing to the existence of a SC state, was recorded up to 130 K which could be explained by the presence of SC phase fragments and quantum fluctuations
