Abstract
The present application is directed to a tunable filter system. The system includes a resonator having an inner wall surrounding a cavity. The resonator includes a MEMS device positioned in the cavity including a substrate, a movable plate and a thermal actuator. The thermal actuator is has a first end coupled to the substrate and a second end coupled to the plate. The actuator moves the plate between a first and a second position in relation to the substrate. The application is also directed to a method for operating the tunable filter.
