Abstract: Apparatus for a micro-electro-mechanical switch that provides single pole, double throw switching action. The switch comprises a single RF input line and two RF output lines. The switch additionally comprises two armatures, each mechanically connected to a substrate at one end and having a conducting transmission line at the other end with a suspended biasing electrode located on top of or within a structural layer of the armature. Each conducting transmission line has conducting dimples that protrude beyond the bottom of the armature carrying the conducting transmission line. Closure of an armature causes the dimples of the corresponding conducting transmission line to mechanically and electrically engage the RF input line and the corresponding RF output line, thus directing RF energy from the RF input line to the selected RF output line.

Abstract: A micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) switch (124) formed on a substrate (110), the switch comprising a transmission line (114) formed on the substrate, a substrate electrostatic plate (120) formed on the substrate, and an actuating portion (126). The actuating portion comprises a cantilever anchor formed on the substrate and a cantilevered actuator arm (130) extending from the cantilever anchor. Attraction of the actuator arm toward the substrate brings an electrical contact (134) into engagement with the portions of the transmission line (114) separated by a gap, thus bridging the transmission line gap and closing the circuit. In order to maximize electrical isolation between the transmission line (114) and the electrical contact (134) in an OFF-state while maintaining a low actuation voltage, the actuator arm (130) is bent such that the minimum separation distance between the transmission line (114) and the electrical contact (134) is equal to or greater than the maximum separation distance between the substrate electrostatic plate (120) and arm electrostatic plate (132).

Abstract: A flexible antenna array comprises a plurality of layers of thin metal and a flexible insulating medium arranged as a sandwich of layers. Each layer of the sandwich is patterned as needed to define: (i) antenna segments patterned in one of the metal layers, (ii) an array of metallic top elements formed in a layer spaced from the antenna segments, the array metallic top elements, being patterned in another metal layer, (iii) a metallic ground plane formed in a layer spaced from the array of metallic top elements, the metallic ground plane having been formed from still another metal layer, and (iv) inductive elements coupling each of the top elements in the array of metallic top elements with said ground plan. An array of remotely controlled switches are provided for coupling selected ones of said antenna segments together.
