    摘要: RF switching devices are provided that alternatively couple an antenna to either a transmitter amplifier or a receiver amplifier. An exemplary RF switching device comprises two valves, one for a receiver transmission line between the antenna and the receiver amplifier, the other for a transmitter transmission line between the antenna and the power amplifier. Each valve is switchably coupled between ground and its transmission line. When coupled to ground, current flowing through the valve increases the impedance of the transmission line thereby attenuating signals on the transmission line. When decoupled from ground, the impedance of the transmission line is essentially unaffected. The pair of valves is controlled such that when one valve is on the other valve is off, and vice versa, so that the antenna is either receiving signals from the power amplifier or the receiver amplifier is receiving signals from the antenna.

    摘要: 電気機械素子に高い電力の信号を入力した場合、静電気力により可動電極が意図せず自動的に駆動する現象が発生する。このような現象を防止し、信頼性の高い電気機械素子を実現する。本発明の電気機械素子は、基板上に形成された電気機械素子であって、可動電極とギャップを介して形成された信号電極と駆動電極を具備する。可動電極と駆動電極の間に引力を加えることにより、可動電極は信号電極と接触可能となる。高周波信号の入力端子側に可動電極と駆動電極が絶縁層を介して対向することにより、大きな静電容量が形成される。その結果、高電力信号が入力される場合でも可動電極と駆動電極との間の電位差が低減されるため、高信頼性の電気機械素子が実現可能となる。

    摘要: An RF-MEMS switch includes a plurality of movable electrodes disposed with a space provided therebetween in the direction of RF signal conduction of an RF signal-conducting unit which is provided above the RF signal-conducting unit. A movable electrode displacing unit for displacing all the movable electrodes at the same time in the same direction towards or away from the RF signal-conducting unit is provided. The electrical length for the RF signal-conducting unit sandwiched between the movable electrodes is determined such that the amplitude of a combined signal including signals reflected in positions of the RF signal-conducting unit facing the movable electrodes is less than the amplitude of each of reflected signals reflected in positions of the RF signal-conducting unit facing the movable electrodes when the movable electrodes are displaced away from the RF signal-conducting unit and signal conduction of the RF signal-conducting unit is switched on.

    摘要: An RF-MEMS device includes a substrate, a coplanar line arranged on the substrate, a movable element disposed above the coplanar line, and a movable electrode arranged on the movable element so as to face the coplanar line. The movable element includes a high-resistivity semiconductor functioning as an insulator for an RF signal and functioning as an electrode for a low-frequency signal and a DC signal. Electrostatic attraction caused by a DC voltage applied between the movable element functioning as the electrode and a fixed electrode displaces the movable element towards the fixed electrode, thereby varying the capacitance between the movable electrode and the coplanar line. The movable element made of a high-resistivity semiconductor has dielectric loss characteristics in which the dielectric loss decreases as the frequency of a signal increases, thus readily reducing the dielectric loss of an RF signal.
