Temperature dependence of power handling capability of HTS filter with double-strip resonator

摘要

We have investigated the temperature dependence of power handling capability of a high temperature superconducting filter with a double-strip resonator (DSR). The DSR structure consists of two coupled strips and the center pins of the SMA connector as feed line. We designed a four-pole DSR filter with the center frequency of 5 GHz and band width of 50 MHz. The filter was fabricated using two YBa2Cu3Oy thin films on CeO2-buffered r-Al2O3 substrates. The measured frequency responses of the filters were in reasonable agreement with the simulated ones. The measured power handling capability of the DSR filter at 35 K was 3.2 times higher than that of the filter at 70 K. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
