Notes. Some abbreviations have been used because of width limitations. Step mot: stepper motor; Temp sens: temperature sensor; Mxrs: SIS mixers; D/A: digital to analogue converter (and conversely); Gunn osc: Gunn oscillator; DC servo: DC servomotor; Harm mxr: harmonic mixer; PLL: phase lock loop; err volt: error voltage. “Josephson coils” is shorthand for the coils that generate a magnetic field to suppress the Josephson effect in the superconducting junctions.
