Superconducting devices and system insertion

The U.S. Army's technical progress and technology strategy for microwave applications of high temperature superconducting (HTSC) thin films for system applications is described. Data is presented on an X-band oscillator, filters, and resonators. Information on film fabrication and preparation is included. The research is continual, and some of the results presented in this work are of a preliminary nature. A theoretical analysis on the effect of temperature variation on Schottky barrier diodes is also included.
