  • Tunable planar capacitor
    Patent number: 6970055
    Abstract: A tunable capacitor that introduces significantly less loss, if any, costs less and is smaller than previously available. A bias electrode is coupled to a FE material. The capacitor electrodes are electro-magnetically coupled to the FE material, such that the capacitor electrodes and the bias electrode are not touching. Only non-conductive material is in the gap defined by the capacitor electrodes. The bias electrode is used to apply a variable DC voltage to the FE material. A capacitor electrode serves as a DC ground for producing a variable DC field between the bias electrode and the capacitor electrodes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 2, 2004
    Date of Patent: November 29, 2005
    Assignee: Kyocera Wireless Corp.
