Abstract
Stripline and microstrip filters at X-band were designed and fabricated using low- and high-temperature superconductors in quarter-wave, parallel-coupled section configurations. Low-temperature superconducting niobium thin films, deposited on single-crystal sapphire, were used to build to six-pole stripline filters with adjacent passbands and approximately 3 dB crossovers and 1.2% bandwidth. Four- and six-pole microstrip filters were made with in situ epitaxial YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/ (YBCO) films on LaAlO/sub 3/ substrates. All the YBCO filters showed 77 K passbands with clean skirts and high out-of-band rejection. The six-pole filters had adjacent passbands with -28 dB crossovers and 1.5% bandwidth.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
