An RF MEMs microelectromechanical system variable capacitor has been demonstrated with a 22:1 tuning range, tuning from 1.5 to 33.2 pF of capacitance. This capacitor was constructed using bistable MEMs membrane capacitors with individual tuning ranges of 70:1 to 100:1, control voltages in the 30-55

## Abstract The tunability of an inductor using an additional conductor segments with optical switching is presented. When the additional conductor is in the horizontal plane of the spiral inductor, a two‐turn spiral‐inductor tunability of 30% can be obtained. The tunability is reduced when the num
