Using Signal Envelope Detection for Online and Offline RF MEMS Switch Testing
The test of radiofrequency (RF) integrated circuits at their ever-increasing operating frequency range requires sophisticated test equipment and is time-consuming and, therefore, very expensive. This paper introduces a new method combining low-frequency actuation signal as test stimuli and signal envelope detection applied on the RF output signal in order to provide a low-cost mean for producti...
متن کاملRF 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 کاملRF MEMS Switches and Switch Matrices
RF-MEMS technology has the potential of replacing many of the mechanical and semiconductor switches used in mobile and satellite communication systems. In many cases, such RF-MEMS switches would not only reduce substantially the size and power consumption, but also promise superior performance. The paper reviews the recent development of RF MEMS switches and switch matrices. Several configurati...
