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 18):
The waveguide filter system of  claim 17 , further comprising at least one iris tunable via comprising the tunable material disposed within a respective one of the plurality of irises coupling the respective pair of the plurality of waveguide filters, the at least one iris tunable via being coupled to the set of electrodes to change a relative permittivity of the at least one iris tunable via in response to a second voltage to enable the tuning of the frequency characteristic of the respective one of the plurality of waveguide filters.
