Rr. Mansour et al., ON THE POWER HANDLING CAPABILITY OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTIVE FILTERS, IEEE transactions on microwave theory and techniques, 44(7), 1996, pp. 1322-1338
This paper presents high power test results for high temperature super
conductor (HTS) filters having six different configurations, The resul
ts demonstrate the possibility of realizing narrow band HTS filters th
at are capable of handling 30-50 W at 77 K. The paper also introduces
a procedure for comparing the power handling capability of HTS filters
with different RF characteristics. Issues related to thermal design o
f high power HTS filters are discussed in detail.
