ART. I am trying to imagine how to make a "Tunable Via" would look like. I think it would have center post with a variable metal structure that opens and closes around the center post like a shutter on a lens. I think the shutter approach might work. What do you make of that? A center post with a surrounding shutter that works like an Iris opening in a camera lensing system. Have to give more thought to that perhaps.
