Abstract :
The tuner discussed in this letter is a superconductive, tunable, parallel LC resonant circuit. The inductance and capacitance are varied simultaneously. A tuning range of 17:1 in frequency has been achieved within a single band. Bandwidth can be controlled by coupling control. Q´s in excess of 105were measured.
