Research abstract
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO BUILD A QUASI-OPTICAL MILLIMIETER WAVE BANDPASS FILTER USING HIGH-QUALITY EPITAXIAL HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTOR (HTSC) TI2BACA2CU2O8 FILMS. THIS CONTRACT WILL EXPAND ON THE WORK DONE BY D. ZHANG, D. PLANT, AND H. FETTERMAN AT UCLA. SUPERCONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGIES INC., WILL ATTEMPT TO REPLICATE THE RESULTS FROM UCLA USING LAALO3 SUBSTRATES TO DETERMINE IF THIS TYPE OF FILTER IS PRACTICAL AT HIGHER TEMPERATURES (UP TO 77 DEGREES KELVIN). POSSIBLE USES INCLUDE NARROW BAND FILTERS FOR MILLIMETER WAVE APPLICATIONS. THIS TYPE OF FILTER HAS A POTENTIAL FOR USE IN SPACE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS AS A PRESELECTION FILTER SINCE IT CAN BE PLACED IN FRONT OF AN ANTENNA OR IN A WAVEGUIDE AND REQUIRES NO CONNECTORS. THE FILTER CAN ALSO BE TUNED BY ROTATION.
