Efficient Technique for HTS Coupled Resonator Filters Design Using an Enhanced FDTD Algorithm
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 152, 151-161, 2025
Abstract
In this paper, an enhanced FDTD algorithm is proposed for efficient characterization of HTS (high temperature superconductors) microwave planar filters. The developed algorithm, which can be generalized to any microwave planar circuit, is based on the two-fluid phenomenological model. Further, an irregular mesh discretization allowed improving the CPU time. Also, the thermal effects and the normal conductivity have been rigorously taken into account for better performance. The impact of the operating temperature as well as the choice of the superconductor thickness was investigated. Computed results are in good agreement with simulated data using commercial software.
