We have measured very low microwave losses in microstrip resonators produced in a newly developed process which deposits high-temperature Er-Ba-Cu-O superconducting films by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on both sides of a LaAlO{sub 3} substrate. These {ital in} {ital situ} films have critical temperatures of 92 K. High {ital T}{sub {ital c}} superconductor (HTS) linear microstrip resonators demonstrated {ital Q}'s of 3500 at 10 GHz and 4.2 K, corresponding to surface resistances less than 330 {mu}{Omega}, which is 45 times better than measured silver resoantors. HTS meanderline resonators with a fundamental frequency of 1.3 GHz have {ital Q}'s of 9600 at 4.2 K. Identical silver meanderline circuits have 300 times more surface resistance than HTS circuits.
