      We have derived general equations to calculate intermodulation distortion in resonators with high temperature superconducting (HTS) films which are not restricted to a specific resonator shape and may be used whenever the ...
    • General Equations for the Induced Phase Shift in Resonant Electro-Optic Modulators

      We derive general equations to calculate the electrooptically induced optical phase shift in resonantly enhanced modulators. The equations are useful in designing modulator electrodes with optimal length and optimal mismatch ...
    • Nonlinear Distortion in a 8-Pole Quasi-Elliptic Bandpass HTS Filter for CDMA System
