  A theoretical study on the voltage response function <V> of a series array of
dc SQUIDs is presented in which the elementary dc SQUID loops vary in size and,
possibly, in orientation. Such series arrays of two-junction SQUIDs possess
voltage response functions vs. external magnetic field B that differ
substantially from those of corresponding regular series arrays with identical
loop-areas, while maintaining a large voltage swing as well as a low noise
level. Applications include the design of current amplifiers and quantum
interference filters.
