Zusammenfassung:We successfully exploit the parabolic shape of the dc voltage output dip around B = 0 of a superconducting quantum interference filter (SQIF) to mix weak external r f signals. The two-tone response of weak time harmonic electromagnetic fields has been detected on the spectral voltage output of the SQIF at frequency f 0 = f 1 - f 2 , for various frequencies f 1 and f 2 ranging from few MHz up to 20 GHz. The two-tone response is a characteristic function of static magnetic field B and of bias current I b , related to the second derivative of the dc voltage output.
