A electrical switch has a first substrate, a first conducting layer disposed on the first substrate, a first dielectric layer disposed on the first conducting layer and a second conducting layer disposed on the first dielectric layer, and the second conducting layer disposed on the second substrate, and a conductive via connected to the first conducting layer and extending through the first dielectric layer. Active dielectric has a first conductor, a first dielectric layer disposed on the first conducting layer, one or more electrical switches disposed on the first dielectric layer, a dielectric layer disposed between neighboring electrical switches, the second dielectric layer disposed on the last electrical switch, and the second conducting layer disposed on the second dielectric layer.

Electronic switch and active artificial dielectric

A microstrip antenna includes a dielectric substrate, a radiating plate, and a single feed connection. In these instances, the rectangular radiating plate is affixed to the dielectric substrate and having a center point, and the radiating patch defines a first aperture and a second aperture on opposite sides of the center point, each aperture having a center longitudinally aligned with the center point. The single feed connection is laterally offset from a point on a virtual line, wherein the virtual line is located between two opposite corners of the rectangular radiating patch and passes through the center point.
