This part of IEC 61788 describes measurements of the intrinsic surface impedance (ZS) of HTS films at microwave frequencies by a modified two-resonance mode dielectric resonator method [14], [15]. The object of measurement is to obtain the temperature dependence of the intrinsic surface impedance, ZS, at the resonant frequency f0.

The frequency and thickness range and the measurement resolution for the ZS of HTS films are as follows:

  • frequency: up to 40 GHz;

  • film thickness: greater than 50 nm;

  • measurement resolution: 0,01 mΩ at 10 GHz.

It is crucial that the ZS data at the measured frequency, and that scaled to 10 GHz be reported for comparison, assuming the f2 rule for the intrinsic surface resistance, RS (f < 40 GHz), and the f rule for the intrinsic surface reactance, XS.
