Two types of current doublers, which operate in a sub-nanoampere range, have been fabricated as prototypes of a precise current multiplier for metrological application. The current doubling function of the devices is based on the quantum current-mirror effect in coupled arrays of small Josephson junctions. Both types of devices comprise three arrays of small Josephson junctions: the first device has two serial short arrays coupled to one long array, and the second device has three arrays of the same size arranged in parallel. The arrays for the current input are the long array in the first device and one of the three arrays in the second device, and a parallel connection of the other two arrays in each device forms the output port. In both types of devices, a current fed to the input array is doubled in the output circuit, which includes the connected arrays, up to about 100 pA with the accuracy ${\leq}{\pm 3}$ pA, which is the uncertainty of the measurement system, by correlated tunnelings of Cooper-pair charge solitons in the arrays. The feasibility of producing a current multiplier has been ascertained on the basis of this effect.
