RF MEMS Switch Technology
Commercial Applications Solid state and electromagnetic relay switches are being replaced by MEMS switches due to their lower costs and increased application performance. Some of the benefits of MEMS switches include low power consumption, long life cycle, linearity and increased switching speeds. Applications include highspeed digital channel switching in automated test equipment, filter bank ...
متن کاملRF MEMS DPDT Switch
The paper explores the modelling and simulation of a Radio Frequency Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (RF MEMS) switch with the use of a novel seesaw design providing Double-Pole Double-Throw (DPDT) functionality. This optimises the capabilities of the seesaw design structure for use in mobile communications systems and devices. After researching other available seesaw designs, it was realised ...
متن کاملDesign of Low Actuation Voltage RF MEMS Switch
Low-loss microwave microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) shunt switches are reported that utilize highly compliant serpentine spring folded suspensions together with large area capacitive actuators to achieve low actuation voltages while maintaining sufficient off-state isolation. The RF MEMS switches were fabricated via a surface micromachining process using PI2545 Polyimide 1 as the sacrifici...
متن کاملDesign 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 کاملDevelopment of Bulk-titanium-based Mems Rf Switch for Harsh Environment Applications
This paper presents an investigation into the viability of a new route for the fabrication of titanium-based MEMS RF switches for harsh environment applications. Titanium’s intrinsic toughness and corrosion resistance suggest that it would be highly suitable for such applications and recently developed titanium micromachining technologies now make exploration of this potential possible. Two des...
