What is BS EN IEC 61788-22-2 about?
IEC 61788-22 is a series of International Standards on superconductor electronic devices. BS EN IEC 61788-22-2 is applicable to high-Tc Josephson junctions. It specifies terms, definitions, symbols, and the measurement and estimation method for normal state resistance (Rn) and intrinsic critical current based on a combination of selecting a data set from measured U–I curves with a geometric mean criterion and fitting a hyperbolic function to that data set.
BS EN IEC 61788‑22‑2 defines a measurement method of normal state resistance (Rn) and intrinsic critical current (Ici) of HTS Josephson junctions, which are used for magnetic measurement with superconductor quantum interference device (SQUID), detection of millimetre to terahertz band radiation and other applications.
