Abstract
The authors study the expected properties of future high-T c superconductor waveguides. These devices offer the potential of 100 GHz of bandwidth for transmission over long distances with low attenuation, with the advantage over optical systems of wider dynamic range (providing a virtually unlimited number of taps). The authors study the theoretical performance of superconductor waveguides, including attenuation, carrier frequency and bandwidth, maximum transmitted power, and dispersion. The authors study the possible application of a single waveguide as the transmission medium for a 60-GHz (data rate) local area network
