The paper presents generalization of micromechanical control principle for number of microwave devices, such as tunable phase shifters and resonator based filters. Starting with one dimensional dielectric discontinuity model, control principle is propagated to microstrip line devices and dielectric resonators. Maximum possible tuning range is discussed along with accompanying insertion loss.References
