Abstract

A full wave analysis based on the spectral domain immittance approach is carried out to calculate the resonant frequency and the quality factor of superconducting unilateral finline resonators on ferroelectric / anisotropic substrates. Numerical results to show the effect of the dielectric nonlinearity of the ferroelectric layer and other parameters have been obtained and are presented.
