1 Introduction

The nanopositioning electroelastic converter on the piezoelectric effect or the electrostriction effect

solves task of precise adjustment for nanotechnology, adaptive optics, antennas, communication systems

[1−8]. The tasks of providing accuracy and speed of the control system using the nanopositioning

electroelastic digital-to-analog converter with the coded control are topical. These tasks can be solved by

determining the static and dynamic characteristics of the nanopositioning electroelastic converter and its

static strain and control characteristics [7, 8]. The application of this actuator with the multilayer sectional

electroelastic converter using the coded control makes it possible to efficiently use the electromechanical

digital-to-analog conversion for the nanodisplacement.

The nanopositioning electroelastic digital-to-analog converter converter for communication systems is

used in the form a piezoelectric or electrostriction converter. In the scanning probe microscopy and the

gene manipulator the multilayer piezoconverter is applied for the scanner and the manipulator [4–8]. The

strain and control characteristics of the electroelastic digital-to-analog converter for communication

systems are obtained.

2 Static characteristics

Let us consider the characteristics of the nanopositioning electroelastic digital-to-analog converter for

communication systems at the transverse, shear, longitudinal piezoeffects. The piezolayers in the

nanopositioning electroelastic digital-to-analog converter are connected in parallel in each section of the

converter, and the control voltage is supplied to each section via the multiplexer. The number of

piezolayers in the section is equal to the power of 2. To calculate the deformation of the nanopositioning

electroelastic digital-to-analog converter, considering the specific features of its strain and control
