Abstract

The impressive explosion of the satellite communication systems during the last few years has led to new constraints in regards to filtering requirements. The development of multimedia satellites and the saturation of the operational frequency bands, necessitates an increase in frequency coverage. This paper presents the design of High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) preselect receive fitters for communication satellites. Attention has been focused on obtaining low insertion loss and small dimensions, at frequencies of 4 GHz and 30 GHz.
