Abstract

We summarize recent results on micromachined dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA), or artificial muscles, whose compliant electrodes are made by low energy ion-implantation into an elastomer. Out-of-plane displacements in buckling mode of over 25% of the device diameter were observed, with a response time of less than 1 ms. Applications include beam steering, RF switching, and tunable microlens arrays. In addition, when operated below the buckling threshold, the device’s resonance frequency can be tuned from its initial value in the kHz range down to zero, with application in acoustic filtering and analog sound processing.

Frequency response

In signal processing and electronics, the frequency response of a system is the quantitative measure of the magnitude and phase of the output as a function of input frequency. The frequency response is widely used in the design and analysis of systems, such as audio and control systems, where they simplify mathematical analysis by converting governing differential equations into algebraic equations.

Electronic filter

Electronic filters are a type of signal processing filter in the form of electrical circuits. This article covers those filters consisting of lumped electronic components, as opposed to distributed-element filters. That is, using components and interconnections that, in analysis, can be considered to exist at a single point. These components can be in discrete packages or part of an integrated circuit. Electronic filters remove unwanted frequency components from the applied signal, enhance wanted ones, or both.

Impulse response

In signal processing and control theory, the impulse response, or impulse response function (IRF), of a dynamic system is its output when presented with a brief input signal, called an impulse (δ(t)). More generally, an impulse response is the reaction of any dynamic system in response to some external change. In both cases, the impulse response describes the reaction of the system as a function of time (or possibly as a function of some other independent variable that parameterizes the dynamic behavior of the system).
