BACKGROUND
The appellants' invention relates to superconducting
ultrabroadband antennas and in particular, to a high-
temperature superconductor, broadband self-limiting spiral
antenna with a controllable signature (specification, p. 1).
A copy of the claims under appeal is set forth in the appendix
to the appellants' brief.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Koepf 5,105,200 Apr. 14,
1992
Osterwalder 5,159,347 Oct. 27,

In addition, the examiner also relied upon the appellants'
admission of prior art (specification, page 5, lines 2-5)
relating to a cavity filled with radiation absorbing material
(Admitted Prior Art).
Claims 19 and 20 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)
as being anticipated by Koepf.
