Analysis of Attenuation and Dispersion for Superconducting Transmission Lines by Using the Method of Lines

Abstract

In this paper, the Method of Lines has been used to calculate the attenuation and dispersion of superconducting film microstrip lines. The calculated frequency region is 0.1-1 OOCHz, the propagation characteristics of the superconducting transmission lines are studied as a function of the thickness of the superconducting film and the substrate. These results may be used in the disign of varied high Tc superconducting passive microwave and millimeter wave devices.
