Abstract :
This paper presents experimental results for a fully integrated high temperature superconductive manifold-coupled output multiplexer. The high power test results indicate that the superconductive multiplexer is capable of meeting the power handling requirements of typical C-band satellite programs. Design considerations related to the implementation and design of high power superconductive multiplexers are discussed in detail.
