A variable resonator is provided which comprises signal conductor 13
formed on top side surface of dielectric substrate 12, ground conductor
layer 11 formed on back side surface thereof and switches 14, wherein
signal conductor comprises a plurality of first conductor lines 13-1 and
second conductor line 13-2 connected with all of first conductor lines,
each first conductor line has a width larger than that of second
conductor line to thereby a signal path through which high-frequency
electric signal passes and which is longer than length of second
conductor line is provided, switches 14 are connected to the ends of
first conductor lines, whereby selectively opening and closing switches
will electrically disconnect and interconnect interspaces between ends of
first conductor lines to thereby vary length of signal path and thus
change resonance frequency.
