Abstract

A 2 GHz band 2-pole narrow bandwidth superconducting band-pass filter with the parallel structure of the half-wavelength microstrip line resonator was developed. The novel filter was realized by planar structure for the first time. The novel parallel filter operating at 60 K had center frequency of 1.909 GHz, insertion loss of 0.77 dB, 3 dB bandwidth of 0.49%, and maximally flat type characteristic. Moreover, the allowable maximum power of the novel parallel filter was 1.14 dB higher than that of the conventional filter. Given these features, a superconducting narrow-band filter for transmitters for next-generation mobile RF applications is expected to be realized by applying these filters
