Abstract:
An apparatus includes a top conductive layer of on an integrated circuit waveguide filter and a bottom conductive layer. The top and bottom conductive layers are coupled via a plurality of couplers that form an outline of the waveguide filter. A dielectric substrate layer is disposed between the top conductive layer and the bottom conductive layer of the integrated circuit waveguide filter. The dielectric substrate layer has a relative permittivity, εr that affects the tuning of the integrated circuit waveguide filter. At least one tunable via includes a tunable material disposed within the dielectric substrate layer and is coupled to a set of electrodes. The set of electrodes enable a voltage to be applied to the tunable material within the tunable via to change the relative permittivity of the dielectric substrate layer and to enable tuning the frequency characteristics of the integrated circuit waveguide filter.

Claim (Index 19):
A method comprising:\n forming a first conductive layer; forming a plurality of conductive vias extending from the first conductive layer; depositing a dielectric substrate layer on the first conductive layer and surrounding the plurality of conductive vias, the dielectric substrate layer having a relative permittivity; forming a tunable via within the dielectric substrate layer, the tunable via being configured to affect the relative permittivity of the dielectric substrate layer; and depositing a second conductive layer on the dielectric substrate layer, such that the plurality of conductive vias extend between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer through the dielectric substrate layer, to form a waveguide filter, the waveguide filter comprising a frequency characteristic that is defined by the relative permittivity and a geometry of the plurality of conductive vias.
