Abstract :
HTS films exhibit very low losses, and HTS microstrip filters ensure a low noise figure and sharp skirts when employed in cellular base station receivers. This paper reviews the current state of the art in the field of microwave applications of superconducting thin films and of problems related to nonlinear power effects in HTS materials
