Abstract:
RF commutator including: a phase change material (7) arranged between a first conducting element (2) and a second conducting element (4), means of heating (11, 13) the phase change material provided with a first electrode (11) and a second electrode (13), the means of heating being capable of modifying the state of the phase change material (7) by injection of an electrical activation signal between the first electrode and the second electrode, at least one given electrode (11, 13) among the first electrode (11) and second electrode (13) comprising a conducting part (15a) arranged between the first conducting element (2) and the second conducting element (4), zones of the phase change material being laid out between the first conducting element (2) and the second conducting element (4) and being arranged on either side of this conducting part (15a).
