Reliability of RF MEMS Switches at High and Low Temperatures: Modeling, Simulation and Experiment
This paper examines the reliability of RF MEMS switches when operational temperatures in the range -60C to 100C are envisioned. The basic operation of a capacitive MEMS switch is described and two tools to examine device reliability, modeling and on-chip experimentation, are discussed for the case of capacitive MEMS switches. 1-D, 2-D and 3-D models are presented with emphasis on 3-D coupled-fi...

متن کاملA Parametric Model of Low-loss Rf Mems Capacitive Switches
This paper is focused on the creation of an efficient electromagnetic model of MEMS switches which operates at microwave frequencies. The switches are first characterized using a full wave analysis based on a finite element method to extract the S-parameters of the switches for different geometrical dimensions. From the S-parameter database, a scalable lumped circuit model is extracted to allow...
