Control elements for RF antennas including high temperature superconducting capacitors, alone or in combination with other elements, including high temperature superconducting films, structures, and applications are formed. In one embodiment a high temperature superconducting capacitor is coupled to an inductor to form a resonant circuit. In another embodiment a high temperature superconducting capacitor is used to make a low-resistance cross-over for an inductor coil. Additional circuits include circuits which do not use non-superconducting materials in the circuit, circuits which have coupled superconducting inductors to provide low-loss signal coupling, tuning and bandwidth broadening, and circuits which include switches to shut off the superconductivity of a superconducting element including low-loss photoconducting and superconducting thermal switches. These circuits may be used to improve Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
