Abstract
We present a novel approach for tuning of dielectric resonators by microelectromechanical switches (MEMS). The concept is based on intermodal coupling between the TE01δ mode of a cylindrical dielectric resonator and a planar slotline resonator. The resonance frequency of the resonator can be changed by MEMS switch leading to variation of the coupling between the planar resonator mode and the TE01δ mode. As a consequence, the resonance frequency of the TE01δ mode changes.
