Surface roughness, asperity contact and gold RF MEMS switch behavior
Modeling predictions and experimental measurements were obtained to characterize the electro-mechanical response of radio frequency (RF) microelectromechanical (MEM) switches due to variations in surface roughness and finite asperity deformations. Three-dimensional surface roughness profiles were generated, based on a Weierstrass–Mandelbrot fractal representation, to match the measured roughnes...
متن کاملAbove Ic Micro-Power Generators for RF-Mems
This work presents recent advances in the development and the integration of an electrochemical (chemicalelectrical energy conversion) micro power generator used as a high voltage energy source for RF-MEMS powering. Autonomous MEMS require similarly miniaturized power sources. Up to day, solid state thin film batteries are realized with mechanical masks. This method doesn’t allow dimensions bel...
متن کاملTemperature dependence of asperity contact and contact resistance in gold RF MEMS switches
Experimental measurements and modeling predictions were obtained to characterize the electro-mechanical response of two different gold contact radio frequency microelectromechanical system (RF MEMS) switches due to variations in the temperature and applied contact voltage. A three-dimensional surface roughness profile from AFM measurements of the top contact surface of a sample RF MEMS switch w...
متن کاملMicro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) based RF-switches in MRI – a performance study
Modern Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems permit parallel, spatial-encoded MRI (pMRI) and as such it is now possible to have up to 128 adjacent coil elements in a coil array [1]. Together with reduced imaging times, pMRI can significantly help to enhance the signal to noise ratio (SNR) over extended fields of view (FOV) [2]. However, a large number of channels subsequently create new tech...
متن کاملFundamental Study of Magnetically Levitated Contact-free Micro-bearing for Mems Applications
In this paper, the authors introduced a new approach to realize a contact-free micro-bearing for MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) applications. In the proposed idea, the mechanism of magnetic repulsion by eddy current was employed. Numerical analysis and experimental research was performed. In the proposed structure having a ringed magnetic circuit having a circularly-arranged gap (gappe...
