Uncertainty Quantification Study For A Comprehensive Electrostatic MEMS Switch Model
This work presents an uncertainty analysis of a comprehensive model for an electrostatic MEMS switch. The goal is to elucidate the effects of parameter variations on certain performance characteristics. A sufficiently detailed model of an electrostatically actuated beam is developed. This model accounts for various physical effects, including the electrostatic fringing field, finite length of e...
متن کاملPiezoelectric versus electrostatic actuation for a capacitive RF-MEMS switch
-In this paper, piezoelectric actuation is compared with electrostatic actuation for application in RF-MEMS switches with respect to actuation voltage and technological implementation. The expression for the actuation voltages of electrostatic and piezoelectric actuation are discussed and compared with respect to scaling. Calculation examples show actuation voltages for a cantilever beam of 1μm...
متن کاملMems Power Switch Implementation Using Sugar Simulator
In this work, a study of MEMS (Micro electro mechanical system) and SUGAR simulator is presented. A MEMS power switch is implemented and the insertion loss, return loss with respect to frequency and ON and Off states of these loss with respect to frequency is studied. Ultra low ON state insertion loss, high off state isolation and high RF signal power handling characteristics are achieved .Many...
متن کاملA low actuation voltage electrostatic actuator for RF MEMS switch applications
This paper presents the design, fabrication and characterization of an RF MEMS switch. Low actuation voltage and high isolation of the switch were achieved by exploiting buckling and bending effects induced by well-controlled residual stress. The effects of residual stress on improving the switch performance have been investigated using both analytical and numerical methods. The proposed RF swi...
متن کاملA Mems Electrostatic Particle Transportation System
We demonstrate here an electrostatic MEMS system capable of transporting particles 5-10pm in diameter in air. This system consists of 3-phase electrode arrays covered by insulators (Figs. I , 2). Extensive testing of this system has been done using a variety of insulation materials (silicon nitride, photoresist, and Teflon), thickness (012pm), particle sizes (11 Opm), particle materials (metal,...
