摘要: Abstract The use of conductor/ferroelectric/dielectric thin film multilayer structures for frequency and phase agile components at frequencies above the Ku-band will be discussed. Among these are edge coupled filters, microstripline ring resonators, shifters. These were implemented using SrTiO3 (STO) ferroelectric films, with gold or YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) high temperature superconducting (HTS) microstrip lines deposited by laser ablation on LaAlO3 (LAO) substrates. performance in terms tunability, operating temperature, frequency, dc bias presented. Because their small size, light weight, low loss, tunable microwave being studied very intensely NASA as well commercial communication industry. An assessment progress made so far, issues yet to solved successful integration into aforementioned systems
