Abstract

BCS theory is used to estimate the characteristics of high-temperature superconductivity and to provide insight into the use as well as the potential limitations of high-temperature superconductivity in high-impact technology areas. The predicted phase noise performance of a 10-GHz high-T_c superconducting cavity oscillator is analyzed. This performance is based on estimated values for Q and power-handling capability and is compared to that of conventional frequency control technologies such as BAW and SAW oscillators and dielectric resonator oscillators
