Radio frequency (RF) and microwave systems typically require a perfect power distribution networks performed through two types of microwave structures: Dividers to split an input signal into two or more output signals and Combiners to associate RF input signals from multiple inputs into single RF output signal.

Electrostatic actuation, commonly used in MEMS, is based on the electrostatic fields and the forces they generate on the structures. The deformation of electrodes, caused by the electrostatic forces, is the main concern in electromechanical actuators such as RF micro-switches, comb-drives and Pressure sensors.
