Abstract

The device includes a metal layer (24) applied to a dielectric layer. The metal layer has at least one gap (25) which is bridged by at least one micromechanical structural member (27), whose distance to the metal layer can be varied. Independent claims are included for a cavity resonator or a dielectric resonator; a tunable filter structure; a tunable oscillator; and the use of a cavity resonator or dielectric resonator for frequency tuning a TE011/TE01delta wave type.
