PENETRATION DEPTH EXTRACTION IN HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTING MICROWAVE TRANSMISSION-LINES

This paper presents both modeling and measurements of the total induct ance of an inverted superconducting microwave microstrip line. From th e comparison between both experimental data and numerical results two of the most important parameters of the superconducting behaviour (the London's penetration depth and the critical temperature) are derived by fitting. Two superconducting physical models are then compared and are finally discussed.
