摘要: The present invention provides for an electrostatic microelectromechanical (MEMS) device comprising a dielectric layer separating a first conductor and a second conductor. The first conductor is moveable towards the second conductor, when a voltage is applied to the MEMS device. The dielectric layer recovers from dielectric charging failure almost immediately upon removal of the voltage from the MEMS device.

摘要: A switch includes a conductive region, a membrane, and a dielectric region. The dielectric region is formed from a dielectric material and is disposed between the membrane and the conductive region. When a sufficient voltage is applied between the conductive region and the membrane, a capacitive coupling between the membrane and the conductive region is effected. The dielectric material has a resistivity sufficiently low to inhibit charge accumulation in the dielectric region during operation of the switch.

摘要: An apparatus and a method are provided for electronically tuning cavity filters. A tunable cavity comprises at least two pieces of material, such as metal plates or metal traces, and MEMS circuitry interconnecting the pieces of material. Multiple tunable cavities can be combined to create a tunable cavity filter. In one embodiment, a waveguide cavity filter comprises a metal insert attached to a substrate. At least two pieces of material and MEMS circuitry reside within the cavities produced by the metal insert. The MEMS circuitry can be controlled to connect or disconnect the pieces of material, which alters the electric and magnetic fields inside the cavities. In another embodiment, a MEMS positioner inside the cavity filter can physically deform or move a piece of material within the cavity. By altering the electric and magnetic fields within the cavities the resonant frequency of the cavity filter can be tuned.
