Abstract
An RF nanoswitch which can reduce a loss in RF signal. The RF nanoswitch includes a first electrode unit connected to one terminal of a driving power supply, a second electrode connected to the other terminal of the driving power supply, and a dielectric material selectively coming into contact with at least one of the first electrode unit and the second electrode, depending on whether or not power is applied from the driving power supply.
Claims20
An RF nanoswitch comprising:
- a first electrode unit connected to one terminal of a driving power supply;
- a second electrode connected to the other terminal of the driving power supply;
- and
- a dielectric material selectively coming into contact with at least one of the first electrode unit and the second electrode, depending on whether or not power is applied from the driving power supply.

An RF nanoswitch comprising:
- first and second ground lines connected one terminal of a driving power supply;
- a signal line connected to the other terminal of the driving power supply;
- a dielectric material fixed to the signal line;
- and
- at least one nanotube fixed to each of the first and second ground lines at the opposite ends thereof and selectively deformed by an electrostatic force to come into contact with the dielectric material, depending on whether or not power is applied from the driving power supply.
2 more elements
An RF nanoswitch comprising:
- first and second ground lines connected one terminal of a driving power supply;
- a signal line connected to another terminal of the driving power supply;
- and
- at least one nanotube fixed to each of the first and second ground lines at the opposite ends thereof and provided with a dielectric material on an outer peripheral surface thereof, the nanotube being selectively deformed by an electrostatic force so that the nanotube comes into contact with the dielectric material, depending on whether or not power is applied from the driving power supply.
1 more element
An RF nanoswitch comprising:
- a support member connected to one terminal of a driving power supply;
- at least one nanotube fixed to the support member at an end thereof;
- a second signal line connected to another terminal of the driving power supply;
- and
- a dielectric material, wherein the nanotube is selectively deformed by an electrostatic force so that the second signal line and the nanotube come into contact with the dielectric material, depending on whether or not power is applied from the driving power supply.
