Superconductive coaxial line useful for delaying signals
A miniature coaxial line is described that possesses a low attenuation by virtue of the increase of normal conductivity at temperatures below room temperature (293/sup 0/K) and also by virtue of the superconductivity phenomenon which occurs at very low temperatures. The miniature line of this invention can be used as a relatively lossless signal delay line for nanosecond pulse oscillography, or for limited time, information storage as employed in electronic computers. The coaxial line comprises an inner conductor and an outer conductor circumferentially surrounding the inner conductor, at least one and preferably both of which are made of superconductive materials, and the inner conductor is suitably insulated from the outer conductor on the outer surface of the inner conductor with a suitable dielectric, such as Teflon or Mylar.
