Abstract : The tunable HTS program goals are to develop a process, method, or device to tune high-temperature superconductor (HTS) resonant circuits. The process for tuning should preserve the low-loss nature of the s preconducting resonant circuits and be compatible with the operating environment of packaged HTS RF circuitry. Although we were originally developing three technologies to perform this tuning, we have down selected to the two that offer the greatest potential for high 0 operation, the half-HTS MEMS variable capacitor and the continuously variable inductor. The target application is for this technology is SIGINT applications in the 400 MHz to 3000 MHz frequency band, with potential applications in areas from 20 MHz to 20 GHz. We reached a significant milestone with the demonstration of the continuously variable inductors. In this demonstration we achieved a 23% tuning range, with better than 1 pan in 10,000 resettability, and a 0 of over 1.0,000. These are significant achievements in the area of tunable filters.
