Abstract
SQUID multiplexers can be used to read out arrays of cryogenic microcalorimeters and bolometers. Time-domain dc-SQUID multiplexer configurations use an individual first-stage dc-SQUID for each detector of an array. The biasing conditions of these first-stage SQUIDs significantly affect the performance of the SQUID multiplexer. We analyze the bias conditions of the first-stage SQUIDs in terms of the total multiplexer noise and bandwidth. We present an analysis and experimental study of the operational parameters of a first-stage dc-SQUID under varied vias conditions. This analysis includes a direct measurement of the SQUID dynamic resistance and the flux noise of the SQUID biased over the range from voltage bias to current bias. Our measurements show that a matched bias of the first-stage SQUIDs improves the system noise performance as well as the first-stage bandwidth.Citation
