Abstract

The authors present a novel concept of using dielectric resonators in conjunction with high-temperature superconductor (HTS) materials. This hybrid approach offers several advantages: dielectric resonator materials have extremely low losses at cryogenic temperatures, reduced size in comparison to traditional dielectric resonators, and exceptional temperature stability, tunability, and versatility (any HTS material can be easily substituted in the proposed filter structures). Basic dielectric/HTS resonator structures are shown. Novel filter configurations utilizing these resonators and experimental results are presented.<>
