Abstract
A new microwave (10 GHz) transmitter-receiver switch (T/R switch) whic h uses high-T-c superconductive (HTS) film elements is presented. Its operating principle is based on the fast switching of the film from th e superconducting (S) state to the normal conducting (N) state under m icrowave (MW) pulses. In the 20% band width, the device demonstrates d ecoupling of >30dB between transmitter and receiver at 100W pulse powe r. The transmission coefficient between transmitter and antenna is sim ilar to 1.5dB and between antenna and receiver is <1dB.
