| Abstract |
In this paper, we described the characterization of High-Tc Superconducting(HTS) microstrip antenna using non-radiating edge feeding technique and reported the microwave properties of HTS antennas with temperature. To do this, we prepared the YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x} superconducting thin film on MgO substrate using pulse-laser deposition techniques. The HTS microstrip antenna using non-radiating feeding technique was fabricated using chemical wet-etching. Then it was compared with identical antenna patterned with evaporated gold. The diverse measured results have been reported in terms of the input impedance, resonant frequency and return loss. In additional, at around the critical temperature, the effect of kinetic inductance which affect the resonant characteristic of the HTS microstrip antenna was reported. |
