摘要
The very low microwave surface resistance of HTS superconducting thin films allows the realization of microwave devices with performance superior to those made by conventional technology. Superconducting delay lines, for example, have very low propagation loss and dispersion. We present long, low-loss, superconducting delay lines on both thinned LaAlO3 and sapphire substrates. Delay lines with 27- and 44-ns delay have been made, for the first time, on 5-cm-diameter 254- and 127-mu m-thick LaAlO3, substrates, respectively. The insertion losses at 77 K and 6 GHz are 6 and 16 dB, respectively. Delay lines with 9-ns delay have, for the first time, been produced on m-plane sapphire substrates and demonstrate, at 77 K, an insertion loss of 1.0 dB at 6 GHz. We also report a 2.5%-bandwidth 10-GHz four pole edge-coupled bandpass filter on M-plane sapphire substrates. The filter has minimum insertion loss of less than 0.5 dB at 9.75 GHz and 71 K.
