The present invention relates to superconductive filter technology.
According to the arrangement of the superconductive filter (1), a
columnar resonating member (23) having a superconductive material formed
on the surface thereof is attached at one of its ends thereof to an inner
wall (22) of a filter housing (21) so that a space is interposed between
the columnar resonating member and each of connectors (27a, 27b) which
are connectable to a signal input/output cables (5a, 5b), respectively.
According to this arrangement, heat conduction from the outside can be
suppressed as far as possible, and the superconductive condition can be
created with stability, with the result that a stable filtering
characteristic can be created. Further, the superconductive filter
according to the present invention will become excellent in power
withstand performance, and hence even if the number of stages of filters
is increased for attaining a steep cutoff characteristic, the loss
deriving from the increased number of stages can be suppressed to the
minimum level.
