The YBCO film has a conductivity of 1.2×1014  S/m and a thickness of 600 nm. The substrate is MgO with dimensions of 34  mm×20  mm×0.5  mm, and its relative permittivity is 9.7077. Due to the very low loss of the substrate, the loss tangent during simulation is set as 0, and the loss is equivalent to conductor loss. The depth of the air layer below the top cover is 5 mm. The dimensions in the circuit are as follows: L1=34  mm, L2=20  mm, a1=0.48  mm, a2=0.36  mm, a3=0.08  mm, b1=2.56  mm, s1=0.8  mm, s2=7.2  mm, f=1.20  mm, w1=6.2  mm, and w2=8  mm. The number of turns of each spiral resonator is 12. The linewidth and line spacing are both 0.08 mm in the spiral resonators.
