Full-wave analysis of the image hybrid dielectric/HTS resonator

An analysis of the image hybrid dielectric/high-temperature superconductor (HTS) resonator is carried out. A full-wave radial mode-matching method is used to obtain the electromagnetic fields inside the resonator for single TE/sub 01/ and dual HE/sub 11/ modes. Measured resonant frequencies and quality factors of these modes are compared with numerical results of the analysis. The resonator power-handling capability is estimated from the field at the surface of the HTS film, assuming a certain value for the critical field of the HTS film.
