Arrangement and method relating to filtering of signals

Patent, 2000

A superconducting notch or band reject filter arrangement includes a superconducting dielectric resonator and a waveguide arrangement including a microstrip line to which the resonator is connected. The resonator is a parallel-plate resonator with a chip of a non-linear dielectric material device on which superconductors are arranged and the waveguide arrangement includes a contact device or a coupling device, the resonator being connected to the contact device of the waveguide arrangement in such a way that electric contact is provided, and the filter arrangement is frequency tuneable. Through the arrangement, the insertion losses are low
