Abstract
We have developed a high-temperature superconducting (HTS) filter with narrow bandwidth characteristic for receiver of weather radar in order to reduce interference between adjacent radar channels. To realize a filter with which a narrow bandwidth and low insertion loss are compatible, resonators with high unloaded Q (Qu) value are required. Hairpin microstrip resonators with 1.5 times wavelength were adopted to suppress the radiation loss and achieve a high Qu value. The developed HTS filter has 8-pole quasi-elliptic function response for sharp skirt characteristic. The measured frequency response of the developed filter shows center frequency of 5370MHz, insertion loss of 2.04dB and maximum return loss of 15dB, which agrees with the designed responses.
