High-temperature superconducting(HTS)films have low surface resistance in the microwave region.This indicates that HTS passive microwave devices, for example, filters and antennas, are promising for commercial use.For superconducting filters, low insertion loss, sharp skirt property and high attenuation value out of band are important, and for superconducting antennas, electrically small antennas and super-directive high-gain antennas are useful.It is known that the elliptic filter has a sharp skirt property compared with that of a Chebyshev filter.We examined a cross-coupled filter which is one type of elliptic filter.The insertion loss of the filter was approximately 0.3dB.The skirt property of the four-resonator cross-coupled filter was almost equal to that of an eight-resonator hairpin filter.We also examined a cryocooler cooling system for superconducting antenna and measured the relative gain, directivity and power capability of an HTS antenna.The gain of the HTS patch antenna was approximately 10 dB larger than that of a normal conducting antenna.The large gain of the HTS antenna was caused by the low surface impedance and enhancement effect of the dielectric window of the cooling system.
