In this letter the authors analyze two configurations of nanoelectromechanical switches, which are working in the microwave and millimeter wave frequency ranges. Metallic nanotubes vertically or horizontally positioned on a propagating high frequency planar waveguide disable or enable the electromagnetic field propagation, whether they are actuated or not by a dc electric field of a few volts. Although the dimensions of metallic nanotubes are very small in comparison with the planar waveguide dimensions and the operating wavelengths, these switches are very efficient and agile.
