  • In order to enhance satellite communication system performance, filters are required with the characteristics of sharp skirt, low insertion loss, and high power handling capability. But the performance of microwave passive filters is significantly declined by the conduction losses, especially in case of planar structures using film conductors. By using high temperature superconducting(HTS) film material as the conductor, higher performance could be expected. We have designed and developed narrow bandpass filters using haripin-type superconducting microstrip line for satellite communication. High quality superconducting YBCO thin films have been grown on MgO substrates by pulsed laser deposition(PLD) The deposited YBCO films were patterned by conventional wet-etching process. The transition temperatures of these films had shown 86 - 89 K. The film thicknesses were about 500 nm. Experimental results are presented for the insertion loss and return loss of the filter at 60 K.

  • The thermal and electrical properties of the conductor are critical parametersfor the design and optimization of the superconducting magnet. This paper presents simulation code to analyze electrical and thermal stability characteristics of the second generation (2G) high-temperature superconductor (HTS) by varying copper stabilizer thickness. Two types of commercial 2G HTS coated conductor tapes, YBCO and GdBCO were used in this study. These samples were cooled by Liquid Nitrogen ($LN_2$) having boiling at 77.3 K and an equivalent electrical circuit model for them is choosen and analysed in details. Also, an over-current pulse test in which a current exceeding a critical current was performed. From the simulation results, the influences of the copper stabilizer thickness on the stability characteristics of these samples are presented.

  • We report the current limiting properties of superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL). Our SFCL was patterned in a spiral type on a YB $a_2$C $u_3$$O_{7-x}$(YBCO) film deposited using rf sputtering techniques and was coated with a gold shunt layer in order to disperse the heat generated at hot spots in the YBCO film. Current increased up to 13.5 $A_{peak}$ at 60 Hz for the voltage of 13 $V_{peak}$, which is the minimum quench point, and increased up to 17.6 $A_{peak}$ at 60 Hz fo the voltage fo 141.4 $V_{peak}$. The quench completion time was 5 msec at 13 $V_{peak}$ and 4 msec at 141. $V_{peak}$ respectively. we think that this architecture using spiral-type SFCL can be useful for the protection of the power delivery systems from fault currents.s. currents.s.
