HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTIVE FILTERS AND MULTIPLEXERS

This paper presents measured and computer-simulated results for a numb er of high-temperature superconductor (HTS) thin filters. The CAD algo rithm used to design these filters is described. Experimental results are also presented for an integrated 4-channel C-band multiplexer empl oying dual-mode hybrid dielectric/HTS thin-film filters. The results p resented in this paper demonstrate the feasibility of building C-band superconductive multiplexers that have the potential of large reductio n in mass and volume over conventional technologies.
