This paper presents two narrowband high‐temperature superconducting (HTS) filters at 10 GHz with a 0.6% fractional bandwidth. Uniform impedance rectangular resonator (UIRR) and stepped impedance H‐type resonator (SIHR) are proposed to achieve HTS filters with high Q value, low sensitivity, weak coupling, and good parasitic response. A six‐pole HTS filter that has UIRRs with a Q value of 17,700 is fabricated; this filter has a 19.9 dB return loss and a 0.38 dB insertion loss. An eight‐pole HTS filter that has SIHRs with a Q value of 12,100 is also manufactured; this filter has a 12.2 dB return loss and a 0.64 dB insertion loss. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
