Abstract
An electromagnetic device, such as a resonator for a filter, incorporates a high-purity polycrystalline alumina. The device may include a superconducting component, which must be cooled significantly below room temperature. The high-purity polycrystalline alumina may be a dielectric slab in a stripline resonator, or may be used as a stand for holding other components. The high-purity polycrystalline alumina exhibits a very low loss tangent at cryogenic temperatures, and therefore will result in an electromagnetic device with superior performance characteristics.
