The transport properties of the bicrystalline YBCO supercounducting thin film grain boundary deposited on SrTiO3 bicrystal substrate with misorientation angle 36.8 by laser ablation have been investigated systematically. We have manifested that these samples behave as a near-ideal resistivity-shunted junction (RSJ) with the aid of analysis of our experimental observation. For example, the temperature dependence of resistivity can be interpreted in terms of the model of thermal activated phase slipage (TAPS) effect. The current-voltage characteristic for these samples with or without microwave irradiation can also be verified as well. Note that the exponent, n, of temperature dependence of critical current can be deduced while n is between 1 and 2. In particular, the regular oscillating phenomena associated with the temperature dependence of resistivity with the application of microwave onto the region of weak-link have been observed. In essence, such interesting feature should be elucidated in advence in the studies of nonlinear-nonstationary dynamics of the Josephson effect.
