Abstract
Multiplexers have been fabricated using high-temperature superconductors (I -ITS). Superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-x films were deposited on MgO, a substrate by using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). A conventional photolithographic m ethod was used to produce the superconducting multiplexer pattern. Epitaxia l YBCO films with c.-axis orientation were grown on MgO (100) substrates. S uperconducting transition temperatures were measured at 89 K. Simulated res ults: of the superconducting multiplexer consisting of hairpin type filters show an insertion loss of 1.2 dB. The measured frequency response of super conducting multiplexer was compared with the simulation results. (C) 2000 E lsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
