Popis: In this paper we explore different configurations of loop sizes in two-dimensional high temperature superconductor (HTS) Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) Arrays. Fixing the number and loop sizes, we changed the placements of the loop sizes to see the effects on the voltage-flux response. We find an asymmetry in the voltage-flux response of the anti- peak feature when the large and small loop sizes are organized on opposite sides of the array. Additionally, we investigate increasing the number of junctions in parallel to mitigate the effects of the junction critical current spread on the voltage-flux response.
