Abstract :
There are several microwave applications where tunable ferroelectric devices could play a key role in improving system performance, or they could provide the key technology that enables a system to be deployed. This article focuses on the Ka-band phased array antennas, but tunable filters, oscillators, and switches could also utilize these materials
