An apparatus comprising a tuning device having at least one control
electrode and a ground electrode located over a substrate and an
electrically conductive fluid in contact with the control and ground
electrodes. The tuning device also has at least one electrical
transmission line electrically coupled to the fluid, the transmission
line configured to transmit a signal. The fluid is configured to move
when a voltage is applied between the ground electrode and the control
electrode, the movement of the fluid changing a propagation
characteristic of the signal.
