Abstract

The propagation characteristics of a slotline structure under the influence of a static magnetic field have been studied using the model developed by Mark W. Coffey and John R. Clem. The complex valued resistive boundary condition formulated using the Coffey and Clem (CC) model is used to modify the dyadic Green’s function in the spectral domain for the slot transmission line. The propagation characteristics are then calculated using the Galerkin’s procedure. The numerical results are presented for propagation parameters and quality factor for a wide range of applied field, reduced temperature and superconducting layer thickness. The increase of the magnetic field and temperature causes an increase in vortex motion which results in a corresponding change in the propagation parameters and quality factor. The variation in the quality factor with respect to the superconducting strip thickness is explained using vortex effects.
