This paper presents an overview in the field of passive, continuously tuneable liquid crystal (LC) devices in hollow waveguide topology. In particular, the designs and measurements of a Ka-band phase shifter as well as a K-band band-pass filter based on an LC filled waveguide resonator are shown. Both demonstrators are designated to be space qualified as their field of application is in satellite communications. While the high performance phase shifter will be integrated in a phased array antenna for beam scanning purposes, the high quality (Q) factor band-pass filter will be used to change the operating frequency and band allocation of a satellite.
