Design and simulation of a RF MEMS shunt capacitive switch with low actuation voltage, low loss and high isolation
According to contact type, RF MEMS switches are generally classified into two categories: Capacitive switches and Metal-to-Metal ones. The capacitive switches are capable to tolerate a higher frequency range and more power than M-to-M switches. This paper presents a cantilever shunt capacitive RF MEMS switch with characteristics such as low trigger voltage, high capacitive ratio, short switchin...
متن کاملStudies on RF MEMS shunt switch
Radio Frequency Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (RF MEMS) based switches are expected to play a key role in the field of microwave switching. Traits like low-loss performance; zero-power consumption and very low inter-modulation distortion have made these switches well suitable for high-performance microwave and millimeter-wave circuits. The design of RF MEMS switches, however, require sophist...
متن کاملDesign and Simulation of RF MEMS Capacitive type Shunt Switch & its Major Applications
This article details about the design of a K-band RF-MEMS capacitive type shunt switch and some of its major applications. The electrostatic and electromagnetic analyses of the designed structure have been performed using MATLAB and commercially available EM solvers. FEM and MOM both tools have been used extensively for full-wave analysis. Two major applications (SPDT switch and reconfigurable ...
متن کاملMechanical Design of RF MEMS Capacitive Switches
This paper analyses the mechanical behaviour of various suspensions of electrostatically actuated RF MEMS switches. A family of capacitive switches is described, with suspensions varying step by step from cantilevers to meander shaped double clamped beams. The result is a capacitive shunt switch with a designed actuation voltage of 4.5 V, and 20dB isolation and 0.04 dB insertion loss at a fre...
متن کاملEffect of temperature on capacitive RF MEMS switch performance—a coupled-field analysis
Three-dimensional multiphysics finite element analysis (FEA) was performed to investigate the reliability of RF MEMS switches at various operational temperatures. The investigated MEMS capacitive switch consists of a freestanding metal membrane actuated by a bottom electrode coated by a dielectric film. Coupled-field simulations between thermal, structural and electrostatic domains were perform...
