ELECTRONIC APPLICATIONS OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS

Over the last decade there have emerged many electronic applications o f HTS technology which have important military as well as commercial i mplications. Examples of these include space communications, terrestri al wireless communications, radar, surveillance, countermeasures, medi cal applications and cryo-electronics. I will review many of the effor ts in in this area that have been supported by the DoD which has inves ted over $350M on this technology. In addition I will discuss the effo rts to develop cryocoolers to support the HTS technology.
