Abstract

The large area Josephson junction with one compact dimension is considered. A geometry that increases the velocity of the kink propagating along the junction is considered. The geometry described in this paper can be used in order to increase or decrease the speed of the signal in the transmission elements in electronic devices. Reflection of the kink front from the large curvature areas is also confirmed.
