Resistive damping implementation improve controllability in ohmic RF-MEMS switches
This paper presents in detail the entire procedure in calculating the bias resistance of an ohmic RFMEMS switch, controlled under resistive damping. (Charge drive technique). In case of a very stiff device, like the North Eastern University (NEU) switch, the actuation control under resistive damping is the only way to achieve controllability. Due to the short switching time as well as the high ...
متن کاملRF MEMS Switches
An overview of the MEMS technology development and applications is given in this paper. A special attention is paid to the RF MEMS switches. Both series and shunt MEMS switches have been considered. It is also presented a technique for modeling and design of inductively-tuned MEMS shunt switch. Some very important issues for the device maturity e.g. reliability and packaging have been addressed.
متن کاملOn the investigation of a reliable actuation control method for ohmic RF MEMS switches
Efficient control of RF MEMS switches is a very important issue as it is correlated to main failure mechanisms/modes such as the impact force and bouncing phenomena which degrade their dynamic performance and longevity. This paper presents the control of a specific ohmic RF MEMS switches under three different actuation modes, a tailored pulse optimization method based on Taguchi’s technique (vo...
متن کاملRF MEMS Switches for Antenna Applications
RF Micro-Electro-Mechanical (MEM) switches have numerous potential applications from mode switching in cell phones at 1-2 GHz to phased array antennas for space-based radar applications. However, environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and foreign contaminants play a significant role in switch reliability and lifetime. The effects of these environmental factors must be mitigated to...
متن کاملESD effects in capacitive RF MEMS switches
RF MEMS have shown very attractive characteristics in automotive, communication, aeronautic and aerospace applications, thanks to its low mass and volume, low losses, low power consumption, high isolation and a wide operative frequency range. Moreover they have demonstrated good integration with electronics which show their ability to built-in innovative RF architectures [1]. Nevertheless the a...
