Abstract

This paper presents a highly selective 24-pole Chebyshev HTS bandpass filter. The filter was designed at 1748 MHz centre frequency with 75 MHz bandwidth, which was suitable for the GSM base station. The filter was fabricated using double-sided YBCO films on a 3 in diameter, 0.43 mm thick sapphire substrate. The simulation of the filter performance was carried out using Sonnet software. A novel resonator structure was proposed. The resonator exhibited a very high Q value of about 30 000 at 77 K. The filter showed an excellent selectivity. At the band edge of the filter, the slope was about 17 dB MHz-1. Out of the band, the rejection level is better than -90 dB.
