Abstract

In this paper, we report the experimental setup and characterization of experimental results for the HTS antenna. The constructions of experimental setup must be fabricated, cautiously. We constructed the cryostat made of 3 stages which consists of radome, vacuum stage and helium refrigerator for the HTS antenna. The HTS antenna was mounted to cryostat and various characteristics were measured at room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature, 77 K. Also the results for the HTS antenna and the gold antenna were compared in terms of reflection coefficient, E-plane and H-plane radiation pattern, input impedance, SWR and efficiency. It appeared that the HTS antenna was superior to gold counterpart over the all characteristics.
