A matched pair of microstrip spiral superconducting filters with centre frequency 357.5 MHz and 29.4% bandwidth has been developed for radio astronomy. The high coupling coefficients required for the large bandwidth have been achieved through interdigitating the spirals to provide a large interaction length, and by adding loading capacitors on the inner ends of the resonators, together with previously reported features. A low-pass filter has been cascaded with each band-pass filter to...
