A voltage tunable resonator is provided, including a dielectric base made of a dielectric material having at least one of a voltage dependent dielectric constant and piezoelectric characteristics. A metal contact having a predetermined area is provided on an outer surface of the dielectric base at a predetermined location to provide a predetermined loaded Q for the resonator, and a metal ground coating is provided on the remaining exposed surfaces of the dielectric base, and an isolation region having a sufficient area to prevent significant coupling between the metal contact and the metal ground coating. A control voltage applied between the metal contact and the metal ground coating provides at least one of (i) a variable electric field to control the dielectric constant and a resonant frequency of the resonator and (ii) a piezoelectric response causing a dimensional change in the resonator to control the resonant frequency of the resonator.
