Methods, devices, and integrated circuits for automatically adjusting a transfer function of a sensing device based on a power level of an incident electromagnetic signal

A method for adjusting a transfer function of a sensing device including a plurality of sensors, the method comprising:

• detecting, by the plurality of sensors, an incident electromagnetic signal, wherein each of the plurality of sensors is associated with a unique transfer function;
• automatically selecting an output from one of the plurality of sensors associated with a particular transfer function based on a power level of the detected incident electromagnetic signal;
• and
• automatically selecting another output from a different one of the plurality of sensors associated with a different transfer function responsive to a change in the power level of the detected electromagnetic signal, wherein the transfer function of the sensing device is adjusted over time by automatically selecting outputs from different ones of the plurality of sensors based on changes in the power level of the detected incident electromagnetic signal;
• wherein each of the plurality of sensors includes at least one of:
• a Josephson Junction, a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), a bi-SQUID, an array of Josephson Junctions, an array of SQUIDs, and an array of bi-SQUIDs.
