Since unloaded Q-value of a high-temperature superconductor(HTS) filter is very high, a bandpass filter(BPF) and a lowpass filter(LPF) with an increase of pole numbers can be fabricated without an increase of an insertion loss(IL) ; recently a 70-pole BPF is developed in USA. They have an abrupt skirt property and an excellent attenuation level for out-of band. Moreover, they can be miniaturized when lumped element resonators or the slow-wave characteristic are used. Technology of fabricating a HTS epitaxial film as well as a film of a 4 inch area also makes the planar type filter with a various structure and an enhanced power handling capability possible. Recently, the HTS filter subsystems composed of a planar-type HTS filters, a GaAs-based LNA and a mini-cryocooler are developed. The extended receiver front- end subsystems for mobile radio communications decrease the noise-figure level of the communication system and the frequency interference interacted adjacent bands, and increase the efficiency of frequency and the capacity of communication system. In this paper, theory for developing the HTS filter, its kinds, its design rules, its characteristics are reviewed. The feature of the research and market trends related to the HTS filter systems for the receiver front-end subsystem of mobile base station are surveyed.

This paper presents a novel HTS microstrip pseudo-lumped element resonator for the compact and simple filter design. A 7-pole bandpass filter with quasi-elliptic response is designed and fabricated using non-adjacent couplings between resonators. A seven-pole quasi-elliptic filter is fabricated using double sided YBCO on a LaAlO$_3$ substrate with thickness of 0.5 mm and dielectric constant of 23.5. The filter has an insertion loss of 0.8 dB at 20K, a bandwidth of 8 MHz at the center frequency of 1774 MHz, and an attenuation of 33 dB for the cut-off-band of 1 MHz.

금속유기물 용액 증착법(MOD)법은 금속유기물 용액을 스핀 코팅하여 고온 열처리를 통해 대면적의 고온 초전도 박막을 만들 수 있으며, 고가의 진공 시스템이 필요하지 않기 때문에 매우 경제적인 박막 증착 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 MOD법을 이용해서 고온초전도체 마이크로파 필터나 터널접합 소자와 같은 전자 소자 응용 연구를 위해 요구되는 높은 임계전류 특성을 갖도록 박막 성장 조건을 변화시켜서 제작된 고온 초전도체 Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d (BSCCO2212) 박막을 제작하였다. 박막 특성은 x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM)으로 표면적, 구조적 특성을 관찰하고 저항-온도 (R-T) 변화 및 전류-전압 (I-V) 특성 측정을 통해 전기적 특성을 연구하여 임계전류를 향상 시킬 수 있는 박막제작 조건에 관해 논의하였다.

The eleventh-order coupled line lowpass filter(LPF) was designed to suppress harmonics and spurious signals. The microstrip type LPF was fabricated using a high-$T_{c}$ superconductor(HTS) $YBa_{2}$$Cu_{3}$$O_{7-x}$(YBCO) thin film with the $CeO_{2}$ buffer layer which was deposited on the sapphire ($Al_{2}O_{3}$) substrate of 30 x 30 $mm^{2}$. The coupled-line type LPF was designed for 1.2 GHz of cutoff frequency with 0.01 dB of ripple level at passband. The fabricated HTS LPF shows excellent attenuation characteristics in stopband of 1.2~9.5GHz (7-attenuation poles in the stopband), and shows low insertion loss (0.2 dB) and return loss (17.1 dB) in the pass- band. These measured results match well with those obtained by the EM simulation. This clearly demonstrates that the HTS LPF can suppress harmonics and spurious signals effectively.

고온 초전도 YBCO 박막을 Nd:YAG 레이저를 이용하여 MgO 기판에 증착시켰다. 박막을 마이크로스트립형 통신소자로 제작하기 위해 포토리스그래피 방법으로 습식 에칭을 시켰다. 제작된 박막에 접지면을 입히기 위해 스퍼터링 방식으로 Ti 충을 30 nm 증착하고, 열 증발기로 Ag를 $2{\mu}m$ 정도로 증착을 시켰다. 소자의 주파수 응답을 측정하기 위해 캐비티를 제작하여 측정하였다. 제작된 필터의 중심 주파수는 14 GHz이다. 박막을 냉각시켜며 그 중심 주파수를 측정하여 임계 온도를 측정할 수 있었다. 필터는 두 가지 디자인을 이용하였으며, 임계 온도에서의 중심주파수가 일정하게 이동함을 관찰할 수 있었다.
