Abstract

We prepared hish T$_c$ Josephson junctions that have different I$_c\;'s$ and R$_n\;'s$ and studied their microwave properties. We measured the current-voltage characteristics of the junctions under the irradiation of 22 GHz electromagnetic wave at various temperatures. from the Shapiro steps, we calculated the maximum detectable frequency and the microwave received power of the junctions. Increasing critical current values increase both maximum detectable frequency and sensitivity. However, increasing temperature increase sensitivity but decrease maximum detectable frequency.
