This paper reports on very low microwave losses in YBa {sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} linear resonators, ring resonators, and bandpass filters. We deposited the 1-2-3 on LaAlO{sub 3} substrates, patterned microwave circuits, and overcoated with a passivating LaAlO{sub 3} layer. HTS linear microstrip resonators demonstrated Q's greater than 1200 at 10 GHz, corresponding to surface resistances less than 300 {mu}{omega}. Identical silver resonators showed Q's of 60 and surface resistance of 15 m{omega}. The high frequency transition temperature for these HTS films was greater than 83 K. The authors measured Q's of 240 in ring resonators at 15 GHz. Finally, the authors designed, fabricated, and tested a 2-pole, Chebyshev narrow-bandwidth bandpass filter. The HTS filter was designed to be a 1 percent bandwidth with 0.1 dB ripple. Insertion loss was 2 dB at 4 K, rising to 3 dB at 77 K. The authors observed temperature dependence in the filter center frequency, which we attribute to kinetic inductance effects. The authors' HTS filters outperform similar cryogenic silver filters, indicating that practical levels of HTS performance have been achieved.
