High-tunable low-loss microwave dielectric devices are designed by electromechanical alteration in the configuration of device components. Specifically, this device consists of dielectric and metallic parts with an air gap between them. The gap location provides the largest perturbation in the electromagnetic field and a mini-actuator controls the device. Through experiments conducted, we test and apply the high-tunable dielectric resonators and filters as well as wide-band low loss phase shifters.
