Patent ID: 8412292

Claim:
A method for designing electronic apparatus that includes superconductor film, the method comprising: measuring a first pair of values, said first pair of values being a first power P IMD-1 and a first thickness d 1 , said first power P IMD-1 being the power of intermodulation distortion characterizing a reference electric apparatus, said first thickness d 1 being the thickness of superconductor film that said reference electric apparatus includes; selecting a second pair of values, said second pair of values being a second power P IMD-2 and a second thickness d 2 , said second power P IMD-2 being a power of intermodulation distortion characterizing a design electric apparatus and being less than said first power P IMD-1 , said second thickness d 2 being a thickness of superconductor film that said design electric apparatus includes and being greater than said first thickness d 1 , said selecting of said second pair of values including performing calculation in accordance with the equation ( P IMD-1 )( d 1 ) x =( P IMD-2 )( d 2 ) x , said performing calculation including establishing a value of x between 1.5 and 6.
