The present invention generally relates to a MEMS DVC having a shielding electrode structure between the RF electrode and one or more other electrodes that cause a plate to move. The shielding electrode structure may be grounded and, in essence, block or shield the RF electrode from the one or more electrodes that cause the plate to move. By shielding the RF electrode, coupling of the RF electrode to the one or more electrodes that cause the plate to move is reduced and capacitance modulation is reduced or even eliminated.

Method of manufacturing a MEMS DVC device

The present invention generally relates to small antennas suitable for mobile devices operating in the high frequency and radio frequency bands in the range 100 MHz to 5 GHz. The antennas may be coupled to a DVC such as a MEMS DVC. The antenna may be coupled to a printed circuit board disposed inside of the mobile device, such as a mobile phone or smart phone.
