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 20):
The method of  claim 19 , wherein forming the tunable via comprises forming the tunable via of a tunable material in an area of the dielectric substrate layer bounded by the plurality of conductive vias, the method further comprising forming a set of electrodes coupled to the tunable via, the set of electrodes being configured to receive a voltage to change the relative permittivity of the dielectric substrate layer to enable tuning of a baseline frequency characteristic of the waveguide filter defined by the geometry of the plurality of the conductive vias.
