Abstract
Abstract A tunable electromagnetic filter includes a type II superconducting medium which exhibits a permanent ferromagnetic component after exposure to a magnetic field. A magnetic field passes through the medium in a first direction, while an input conductor wound around the medium in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction receives an input signal, and an output conductor is wound around the medium in a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions. At resonance of the medium, an alternating field magnetic component perpendicular to both the incoming signal and the magnetic field is created to induce a current of the resonant frequency in the output conductor.
