Abstract:
Microstrip/stripline transmission lines (16) have a plurality of strips (18, 20, 22 ..... 32) on a substrate (6) where the strips are separated by gaps (34). This arrangement results in a reduced maximum current density compared to previous transmission lines with the same power handling capability. The strips can have the same width or different widths. The gaps can have the same width or different widths. The transmission lines can be used in filters and resonators and can be made of high temperature superconductive materials.
