Abstract
A tunable multilayer capacitor array is provided. The tunable multilayer capacitor includes a plurality of tunable multilayer capacitors that are connected in parallel. The tunable multilayer capacitor has an initial capacitance value greater than about 0.1 microFarads at an operating voltage greater than about 10 volts. The tunable multilayer capacitor is configured to have a tunable capacitance by applying a DC bias voltage to the tunable multilayer capacitor array.
