An amplifier and method for improving linear response includes a plurality of N bi-SQUIDs. Each bi-SQUID has a non-uniform bi-SQUID parameter βi, described by βi=2πLiIciΦ0 can be defined for each bi-SQUIDs from i=1 to N, where Li is the loop inductance, ic is the critical current, and Φ0 is a flux quantum for each bi-SQUID. The non-uniform bi-SQUIDs can be connected in series or in parallel to establish a Superconducting Quantum Interference Filter (SQIF) array of bi-SQUIDs. Once connected, a mutual inductance between the connected bi-SQUIDs can be established. If the mutual inductance between connected bi-SQUIDs is accounted for, careful manipulation of the critical current or the loop size, or both, of each bi-SQUID can result in extremely uniform behavior (linear response) of the SQIF when considered as a whole, even though the behavior of the element bi-SQUIDs is non-uniform (different βi, parameters).

An efficient inductance modeling approach for on-chip power-ground wires using their effective self-loop-inductances is disclosed. Instead of extracting the inductive coupling between every two parallel wires and putting this huge number inductance elements into circuit simulation, this technique determines the effective self-loop-inductance for each power or ground wire segment and only generates a circuit with these effective self-inductors for simulation. This approach greatly reduces the circuit size and makes the full-chip power-ground simulation with the consideration of inductance feasible.

Discontinuous loop antennas and related components, radio-frequency identification (RFID), tags, systems, and methods are disclosed. A discontinuous loop antenna is an antenna loop structure that includes a discontinuity portion. The discontinuous loop antenna can be coupled to an RFID chip to provide an RFID tag. The discontinuity portion decreases the loop inductance and tag capacitance, thus enabling the discontinuous loop antenna to have significantly larger loop area while still matching the chip impedance, resulting in dramatic increases in near-field sensitivity. Increased near-field sensitivity provides increased power harvesting efficiency during near-field coupling. As one non-limiting example, an RFID tag having a discontinuous loop antenna may achieve significantly more power harvesting from a RF signal than an RFID tag having a continuous loop antenna tuned to the same or similar resonant frequency. The discontinuity portion can be trimmed after fabrication allowing the resonant frequency of the RFID tag to be tuned.
