Abstract: | A 50-Ω coplanar waveguide (CPW) resonator designed for a fundamental frequency of about 4.75 GHz was fabricated on LaAlO3 . Two versions were fabricated: the first using 1.9-μm-thick gold and the second using 0.6-μm-thick YBa2Cu3O 7. The devices were identically packaged and tested at 77 K. It was found that the high-temperature superconductor (HTS) resonator had a surface resistance, Rs, about six to nine times lower than the Au one. At 45 K, the Rs of the HTS resonator decreases by another factor of 4 compared with its 77 K value. Device characteristics for the HTS resonator are presented |
