F. Abbas et al., THE EFFECT OF BUFFER LAYERS ON SLOW-WAVE PROPAGATION IN SUPERCONDUCTING PLANAR TRANSMISSION-LINES, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 254(1-2), 1995, pp. 137-142
Slow wave propagation in superconducting planar transmission lines is
dependent on the materials properties and thicknesses of superconducto
rs, dielectric (substrate) and the buffer layers. The wave velocity ra
tio (with respect to free space) is computed for various combinations
of material properties. The dependence of the relative wave velocity o
n the dielectric constant and thicknesses of the buffer layers is disc
ussed.
