Patent ID: 8598969

Claim:
A tuner, comprising: a first cladding layer; a polymer layer, the polymer layer being connected to the first cladding layer; a second cladding layer, the second cladding layer being connected to the polymer layer; a piezoelectric disk, the piezoelectric disk being connected to the second cladding layer; and a rigid-flex printed circuit board layer, the rigid-flex printed circuit board layer including a first surface, the rigid-flex printed circuit board layer further including a second surface, the second surface being located generally opposite the first surface, the second surface of the rigid-flex printed circuit board layer being connected to the second cladding layer, wherein the tuner is configured for being implemented with a cavity filter to adjust a center frequency of the cavity filter, the tuner configured for being piezo-electrically actuated, the first cladding layer of the tuner configured for being connected to the cavity filter, the tuner configured for at least substantially covering a cavity of the cavity filter.
