Summary :

Large-area high-temperature superconducting films and damage-free processing techniques have been developed to fabricate low insertion loss and sharp skirt filters for mobile telecommunication. An off-axis-type dc sputtering method was employed to deposit Y-Ba-Cu-O films on both sides of the substrate. The surface resistance of the films was about 0. 35 mΩ(at 70 K and 10 GHz). An 11-pole bandpass receiving filter for the IS-95 telecommunication system was designed and fabricated using 60 mm 50 mm YBCO films on a 0. 5-mm-thick MgO substrate. The passband insertion loss at 70 K was about 0. 1 dB with 0. 1 dB ripple. The third-order intercept point of the filter was 49. 5 dBm. We have assembled the filter and a low-noise amplifier in a dewar with a cryocooler. Ultralow-noise performance (noise figure: 0. 5 dB at 70 K) was presented by the cryogenic filter subsystem.
