A method of processing an electromagnetic signal, comprising includes configuring a waveguide that includes a multiferroic medium to propagate the electromagnetic signal. A mechanical strain or a control electrical or magnetic field is applied to the waveguide such that the applying changes a permittivity or a permeability of the medium. The electromagnetic signal is propagated through said waveguide while performing the applying.

Method employing multiferroic materials for tunable permittivity or permeability

An apparatus has a waveguide that includes a multiferroic medium. A controller is configured to apply a mechanical strain or a control electric or magnetic field to the multiferroic medium. The multiferroic medium has a dielectric permittivity or magnetic permeability that is responsive to the strain or the control field.
