1. An integrated, tunable inductance network, comprising:

  • a substrate,a plurality of inductors fabricated on said substrate, anda switching network-which is operable to interconnect selectable ones of said inductors to form an inductance network having an inductance value that depends upon the selected inductors, said inductance network having an input and output, said switching network comprising a plurality of micro-electromechanical (MEM) switches and integrated with said inductors on said substrate, each of said MEM switches switching in response to a respective control signal to set a total inductance across said input and output to one of a plurality of levels.
