Patent attributes
A superconducting switch system is provided that includes a filter network having an input portion and an output portion, and a variable inductance coupling element that couples the input portion to the output portion. The variable inductance coupling element has a first inductance that allows a desired portion of an input signal to pass from the input portion to the output portion as an output signal, and a second inductance state that suppresses the input signal from passing from the input portion to the output portion. The superconducting switch system further comprises a switch controller configured to control the switching of the variable inductance coupling element between the first inductance state and the second inductance state.
