Abstract
Weak links in superconductors are detected by observing the effect of magnetic field modulation on the microwave resistance of superconductors. The phase detected response to the magnetic modulation can show a peak at T.sub.c. The presence of peak(s) at temperatures below T.sub.c indicates the presence of weak links in the superconductor.
