LC TUNING ELEMENTS
Variations of the stan-
dard metallic units,
LC tuning elements
are designed specifi-
cally for filter applica-
tions. These devices
provide a fixed post
length which is
extended by rotating the metallic rotor.
A typical application is a direct-coupled
TEM mode coaxial configuration. The
post length is selected to cover the
desired range. A circuit is designed
around the tunable post so that each
section approximates 76 ohms for opti-
mum resonator Q and high selectivity.

Notes:
1. For slotted bushing, replace “S” in model number by “L”.
2. To include a mating nut on the bushing, replace final “F” in the model
number by “N” for a hex nut, or by “R” for a ring nut.
RESISTIVE TUNING ELEMENTS
The use of a lossy rod
material for the rotor
of the tuning element
provides a conve-
nient and effective
means of trimming
the microwave
device in a wave-
guide or cavity. The amount of power
absorbed is a function of the depth of
insertion of the rod into the waveguide
or cavity. Standard models are ideal for
frequencies of 1 to 18 GHz.
