Characteristics of Superconductor Strip Transmission Lines with Periodic Load
01 October 1967
This paper presents a study of the high-frequency performance of thin film superconducting transmission circuits. Particular attention is given to transmission lines between cryotron elements and between substrates each carrying many cryotrons. These interconnections are microstrip lines with very low characteristic impedances. Since the separation between the transmitting strip and the ground plane is very small in comparison to the width of the strip, edge effects can be neglected. This simplifies the analysis and gives an easy understanding of the propagation phenomena.
