Although $High-T_c $superconducting HTS antennas have high efficiency and high gain, narrow bandwidth due to the high Q is the major limitation for application of satellite communication and mobile communication. Defining bandwidth as the frequency range over which standing wave ratio (SWR) is 2:1 or less, HTS antenna bandwidths are typically less than 1 %. Thus considerable effort has been focused on developing HTS antennas for broadband operation. In this work the HTS antenna array, using the bipin antenna which consisted of two triangle-radiation patches, was designed and fabricated using a ${YBa}_2{Cu}_3{O}_7x (YBCO)$ superconducting thin film on a MgO substrate for broadband operation. Also gold antennas with the same dimension as our HTS antennas were fabricated on the MgO substrate for the comparison. Experimental results for both antennas were reported in terms of radiation patterns, return losses, bandwidths and other various characteristics. The center frequency of HTS antennas was 20.28 GHz and the bandwidth obtained was significant 10 %.

For the well-preparation of the superconducting wire by electrophoresis, the control of the cracking on the YBCO, BSCCO superconductor deposited on Ag wire in acetone and buthanol solution with PEG(poly-ethylenglycol) was investigated with XRD and SEM analysis. After deposition, drying and heat treatment process, the cracks on the deposited surface of YBCO and BSCCO samples was clearly removed and decreased, which was perpared in suspension with addition of PEG from 1 to 3ml. However, in the case of the addition rate of PEG in acetone suspension was exceeded in 3ml, BSCCO superconductor deposited on Ag wire was slightly melted at 90$0^{\circ}C$ which was the same heat treatment condition of other samples with different additin rate of PEG. In the process of electrophoretic deposition, drying and heat treatment, PEG added into the suspension solution as a binder was very useful to prepare the crack-free thick film-wire of YBCO and BSCCO.

The residual stress induced in the superconducting layer was estimated using analytical approach coupled with electro-mechanical test results and XRD measurements. The residual stress measured based on the $I_{c}/I_{c0}$-strain degradation behavior showed similar value with the measured residual stress using XRD. The calculated residual stress based on the thermal analysis showed the lowest value. This could be explained by the additional intrinsic residual stresses induced in the superconducting film during deposition.

We fabricated a resistive superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) of a meander type based on a YBCO film with the meander cross section of 5 $\times$ $10^{-6}$$cm^2$, and performed current limitation experiments. The film was coated quench current was 9.6 Apeak at 60 Hz, and the fast quench time was 0.63 msec. The resistance of the limiter continuously increased for three cycles dut to the temperature rise in the gold layer. The temperature of the current limiting element reached the room temperature in 11 msec, $150^{\circ}C$ in 54 msec after quench, and was saturated afterwards. For $45^{\circ}$and $90^{\circ}$faults the fast quench times were 0.56 msec and 0.26 msec, respectively. The quench time is believed to be reduced because the fault occurred when the current was either increasing or at the peak value. This limiter effectively limited the fault current to about 1/5 of the potential current with no SFCL right after the fault and to about 1/8.5 in three cycles. We confirmed that the gold layer effectively carried out the role of heat dissipation as the SFCL was quenched.

For the fabrication of fault current limiting device using HTSC thick film, YBa$_2Cu_3O_x$ superconducting thick film was formed by surface diffusion process of the Y$_2BaCUO_5$ and the mixed compound of (3BaCuO$_2$+2CuO) expected to be liquid phase above the peritectic temperature of YBa$_2Cu_3O_x$. For the surface diffusion, the compounds of 3BaCuO$_2$+2CuO mixed with binder material was patterned on Y$_2BaCUO_5$ substrate by the screen printing method. After proper sintering, the characteristics of current limit on thick film fabricated was measured. The thick film was able to limit the current from 2.8213 mA$_{rms}$nu to 4.2034 mA$_{rms}$ with 500${\omega}$ load resistance, and from 4.1831 mA$_{rms}$ to 4.2150 mA$_{rms}$ with 10${\omega}$ load resistance.

Single-crystal like $MgB_2$ thin film was grown on (000l) $Al_2O_3$ substrate by using hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition (HPCVD) system. Single crystal properties were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the (0001) $MgB_2$ peak is $15^{\circ}$, which is very close to that has been reported for $MgB_2$ single-crystal. It indicates that the crystalline quality of thin film is good. Temperature dependence on resistivity was investigated by physical property measurement system (PPMS) in various applied fields from 0 to 9 T. The upper critical field ($H_{c2}$) and irreversibility field ($H_{irr}$) were determined from PPMS data, and the estimated values are comparable with that of $MgB_2$ single-crystals. The thin film shows a high critical temperature ($T_c$) of 40.4 K with a sharp superconducting transition width of 0.2 K, and a high residual resistivity ratio (RRR=21), it reflects that $MgB_2$ thin film has a pure phase structure.

We fabricated a resistive superconducting fault current limiter of two stripe meander type based on a YBCO film, and performed current limitation experiments. In order to disperse the heat generated at hot spots in the YBCO film the film was coated with a gold shunt layer. At $0^{\circ}$ fault angle the minimum quench current was $9.6 A_{peak}$(meander line cross section: $5{\times}10^{-6}cm^2$) and the fast quench time was 0.63 msec. The resistance of the limiter continued to increase for three cycles due to heat generation in the gold layer and was stabilized afterwards. At $45^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ the fast quench time were 0.56 msec and 0.26 msec, respectively. The quench time is believed to be reduced because faults occurred when the current was increasing or was at the peak value. With the limiter we could effectively limit the fault current about 1/5 times right after the fault and about 1/8.5 times three cycles after.

We have studied Hall effect for potassium (K)-doped $BaFe_2As_2$ superconducting thin films by analyzing the relation between the longitudinal resistivity (${\rho}_{xx}$) and the Hall resistivity (${\rho}_{xy}$). The thin films used in this study were fabricated on $Al_2O_3$ (000l) substrates by using an ex-situ pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique under a high-vacuum condition of ~$10^{-6}$ Torr. The samples showed the high superconducting transition temperatures ($T_c$) of ~ 40 K. The ${\rho}_{xx}$ and the ${\rho}_{xy}$ for K-doped $BaFe_2As_2$ thin films were measured by using a physical property measurement system (PPMS) with a temperature sweep (T-sweep) mode at an applied current density of $100A/cm^2$ and at magnetic fields from 0 up to 9 T. We report the T-sweep results of the ${\rho}_{xx}$and the ${\rho}_{xy}$ to investigate Hall scaling behavior on the basis of the relation of ${\rho}_{xy}={A{\rho}_{xx}}^{\beta}$. The ${\beta}$ values are $3.0{\pm}0.2$ in the c-axis-oriented K-doped $BaFe_2As_2$ thin films, whereas the thin films with various oriented-directions like a polycrystal showed slightly lower ${\beta}$ than that of c-axis-oriented thin films. Interestingly, the ${\beta}$ value is decreased with increasing magnetic fields.

High temperature superconducting coated conductor has a structure of ///. The buffer layer consists of multi-layer, this study reports the deposition method and optimal deposition conditions of YSZ(Yttria-stabilized zirconia) layer which plays a important part in preventing the elements of substrate from diffusing into the superconducting layer. YSZ layer was deposited by DC reactive sputtering technique using water vapor for oxidizing deposited elements on substrate. To investigate optimal thickness of YSZ film, four YSZ/CeO$_2$/Ni samples with different YSZ thickness(130 nm, 260 nm, 390 nm, and 650 nm) were prepared. The SEM image showed that the surface of YSZ layer was getting to be rougher as YSZ layer was getting thicker and the growth mode of YSZ layer was columnar grain growth. After CeO$_2$ layer was deposited with the same thickness of 18.3 nm on each four samples, YBCO layer was deposited by PLD method with the thickness of 300 nm. The critical currents of four samples were 0, 6 A, 7.5 A, and 5 A respectively. This shows that as YSZ layer is getting thicker, YSZ layer plays a good role as a diffusion barrier but the surface of YSZ layer is getting rougher.
