Popis: We have theoretically investigated the high frequency properties of a carbon-nanotube-based three-terminal nanoelectromechanical relay. The intrinsic mechanical frequency of the relay is in the GHz regime, and the electromechanical coupling shows a non-linear resonant behaviour in this frequency range. We discuss how these resonances may be detected and show that the resonance frequencies can be tuned by the bias voltage. Also, we show that the influence of external electromagnetic fields on the relay is negligible at all frequencies.
