Abstract
A tunable probe includes a first resonator, a second resonator spaced from the first resonator, and a cross-couple extending from the first resonator to the second resonator. The cross-couple includes a first substrate and a second substrate disposed between the first and second resonator to create a capacitance between the first and second resonators. The cross-couple further includes a wire connecting the first and second substrates and a dielectric surrounding the wire.
