Abstract

A high Tc Josephson device for high frequency detection applications is being developed, consisting of an YBCO/PBCO/YBCO ramp type junction and a broad band log-periodic antenna. In this contribution we present the response of such a device to (near) mm wave irradiation. Shapiro steps have been observed up to very high voltage values - nearly 4 mV at 10 K, at the maximum of the radiation power. The modulation of the step amplitudes shows very good resemblence with the predictions from the Resistively Shunted Junction model.
