Abstract
A circuit includes an amplifier to amplify an input signal and generate an output signal. The circuit also includes a tuning network to tune frequency response of the amplifier. The tuning network includes at least one tunable capacitor, which includes at least one micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) capacitor. The amplifier could include a first die, the at least one MEMS capacitor could include a second die, and the first die and the second die could be integrated in a single package. The at least one MEMS capacitor could include a MEMS superstructure over a control structure, which is to control the MEMS superstructure and tune the capacitance of the at least one MEMS capacitor.
