Properties and fabrication status of microdevices for microwaves based on polar ceramics are reviewed. We discuss bulk acoustic wave devices with AlN films, rf-MEMS capacitive switches with high permittivity materials, and tunable ferroelectrics. The relevant properties of ferroelectrics for microwave applications are summarized with emphasis on composites and thin films.
