Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable phase difference and noise between first and second output terminals to be eliminated by providing a phase compensating circuit between an oscillation circuit and a first output terminal. CONSTITUTION:One output of an oscillation circuit 1 is subjected to V/I conver sion 2 and is fed to a DC type superconductive quantum interference element (SC-SQUID) 3. Potential difference between both edges of this element 3 is detected and amplified by a differential amplifier 4 and is output as a voltage signal. This signal is filtered by a filter 5 and is output from a second output terminal 6. At this time, increasing time constant of the filter 5 and increasing filtering effect of noise cause phase difference between the output of the filter 5 and the circuit 1 to be increased so that phase difference is canceled by provid ing a phase compensating circuit 7 between the other output of the circuit 1 and a first output terminal 8. Namely, phase of signal of the circuit 1 is shifted by the circuit 7 for eliminating phase difference with the filter 5 and for outputting it from the terminal 8. Thus, each characteristic of current - voltage and magnetic flux - voltage can be measured without any phase differ ence at low noise.
