Abstract
First-order HTS SQUID gradiometers were fabricated on 30 × 10 mm2 bicrystal substrates. These devices have a baseline of 13 mm, intrinsic balance levels of ~1/700 and a typical gradient sensitivity at 1 kHz of 79 fT cm-1 Hz-1/2. A two-SQUID coupling scheme is discussed that further enhances the device's ability to reject uniform fields.
