Introduction

In this chapter we present an autocorrelator design based on a circular shift register with on-chip prescaling and off-chip accumulation requiring only 74 Josephson junctions per stage. Its main features include double oversampling, continuous mode of operation and ultra-low power dissipation. We report experimental results for the two main blocks of the autocorrelator: a 16-stage delay line with multiplication and an array of low-power T flip-flop binary counters, both implemented using HYPRES' tex2html_wrap_inline1503 - tex2html_wrap_inline1505 tex2html_wrap_inline1507 - tex2html_wrap_inline1509 Nb-trilayer technology.
