Abstract

The extended scattering parameters for linear time varying devices are used to model a high-temperature superconducting (HTS) bridge under time-harmonic optical irradiation. It is shown that this structure acts as a time-varying low-pass filter, which its transfer function characteristic changes periodically with time. This behavior makes this configuration ideal for applications where a time-varying filter is on demand.
