Abstract:
Superconducting switching arrangement comprising a number of signal input means, a number of signal output means, a number of resonators providing a number of filters, each filter representing a channel, the resonators at least operating in dual mode, and tuning means, wherein asymmetries are produced in the resonators to provide an electric field redistribution so that degenerate resonator modes are created, and the tuning means tune at least some of the resonators, further comprising first coupling means to provide mutual coupling between degenerate modes in the resonators, wherein an input means and an output means are arranged such that at lest one angle is formed for which the degenerate modes become coupled, said angle forming first coupling means, and wherein the coupling angle is an azimuthal angle between the signal input and a resonator symmetry axis, and the degenerate modes are non-orthogonal in relation to each other.
