MgB2 is a two-gap superconductor and as a result may manifest unusual physical properties. The performance of MgB2 films at microwave frequencies has so far been rather poor compared to that of Nb alloys and this may result from intrinsic behaviour related to the double-gap structure or extrinsic properties due to non-optimized thin films. Here we give a detailed report on the microwave magnetic field dependent surface impedance of an MgB2 thin film, using a parallel plate resonator, as a function of temperature. We discuss whether the framework used to analyse nonlinear behaviour for other superconductors, both low and high T-c, but single-gap, has any validity for MgB2 and whether the films are limited by intrinsic or extrinsic behaviour. The key result is the observation of junction-type switching effects at high microwave power.
