Publication number: 20170104466Abstract: A tunable resonator includes at least one tunable capacitor coupled with at least one tunable inductor. The tunable resonator includes a mechanical tuning mechanism coupled with a connecting bridge and with first and second electrodes of the tunable inductor. The mechanical tuning mechanism also moves the first and second electrodes of the tunable inductor relative to an electrode of the tunable capacitor, and providing a force down onto or to pull up a connecting bridge to tune the tunable inductor.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2016Publication date: April 13, 2017Inventors: Edward C. Liang, Georgiy Kolomichenko

Patent number: 9564273Abstract: A tunable capacitor includes a first electrode and a second electrode, each being formed of a conductive material. The tunable capacitor further includes a third electrode between the first electrode and the second electrode, and a dielectric material interposed between the first electrode and the third electrode, and between the second electrode and the third electrode. The third electrode is movable relative to the first electrode and the second electrode by a stepper motor, to adjust and tune a capacitance of the tunable capacitor.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2015Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: MCV TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Edward C. Liang, Georgiy Kolomichenko

Publication number: 20140285298Abstract: A tunable inductor includes a first wire coil having a first terminal lead, and a second wire coil having a second terminal lead that is arranged and oriented in the same direction as the first terminal lead. The tunable inductor further includes a connecting bridge connecting the first wire coil with the second wire coil opposite the first and second terminal leads, such that the first wire coil and second wire coil are arranged in series and spaced side-by-side separated by a space. The tunable inductor further includes a mechanical tuning mechanism coupled with the connecting bridge, to provide a force down onto or a force pulling up the connecting bridge, and to respectively decrease the space between the first wire coil and the second wire coil to increase inductance, or increase the space between the first wire coil and the second wire coil to decrease inductance.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2013Publication date: September 25, 2014Applicant: MCV Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Edward C.
