  • Abstract
    Novel slow-wave coplanar waveguide (CPW) filters using high temperature superconductor (HTS) films are presented. Both half-wavelength and quarter-wavelength resonators are used in the filter topology. The miniaturisation is achieved using meander structure and interdigital grounding lines. A 3-pole Chebyshev bandpass filter has been designed, fabricated and studied. The untuned experimental results are in very good agreement with the simulated responses.
