Abstract :
A novel dual-mode HTS microstrip resonator is presented. Interdigitated capacitive networks replace the usual distributive coupling. Also, a novel symmetrically folded technique is used that reduces the physical size of the structure while minimizing unwanted coupling and maintaining well defined transmission zeros.
