ABSTRACT:
A tuning mechanism for tuning a resonant circuit is provided. The tuning mechanism comprises a spring pin having a superconductive, dielectric or magnetic tuning tip attached thereto. The spring pin is slidably inserted into a filter package wall through a mating hole. A mechanism is provided for adjusting the position of the tip within the electromagnetic field above the filter element. The tip may be shaped, thus allowing adjustment of both the height of the tip above the filter element and the position of the tip in a plane parallel to the plane of the filter. Optionally, the spring pin may include an offset to allow close spacing of the tips along with wider spacing of the actuator end of the pin.
