Patent ID: 7202765

Claim:
A radio frequency switch, comprising: a first magnet; an electromagnet formed on said first magnet; a coplanar waveguide formed on said electromagnet, said coplanar waveguide having a first ground line, a second ground line, and a signal line, wherein said coplanar waveguide comprises a first layer of dielectric material formed on said electromagnet, wherein said signal line, said first ground line, and said second ground line are formed on said first layer of dielectric material, wherein said signal line is positioned between said first ground line and said second ground line, and wherein said signal line is separated from said first ground line and said second ground line; a movable contact connected to one of said ground line and said signal line, said movable contact capable of electrically coupling said ground line with said signal line; and a ground plane positioned between said first layer of dielectric material and said electromagnet.
