AbsfrucfSuperconducting coplanar wave guides may easily be fabricated and combined with surface mounted semiconductor devices. The current density distribution is calculated to determine the microwave losses for different miniaturised cross sections and edge shapes. The calculated and measured quality factors are in good agreement at low power and zero external magnetic field perpendicular to the film. The influence of moats or slots in the CPW stripes on the measured quality factor and intermodulation product as a function of the external magnetic field is discussed in terms of critical superconducting current density.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
