摘要

An open-ended dielectric resonator method and experimental apparatus for measuring microwave surface resistance of the high T-c superconducting thin films are reported. Making use of two sapphire rods the quality factor related to the losses of the resonator except its superconducting part can be evaluated. The R-s value of an individual superconducting thin film can be determined without any assistance of other superconducting films or calibrators. This measurement provides a convenient and absolute approach for R-s-measurement of high T-c superconducting thin films. Also the error in the R-s-measurement with the method was discussed.
