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 کاملA Novel Low Cost Spring-Less RF MEMS Switch Prototype
This work reports on the fabrication process and measurements of a novel radio frequency microelectromechanical system (RF MEMS) capacitive shunt switch prototype with a mechanically unconstrained armature. The prototype is fabricated in a low cost process based on a printed circuit board (PCB) bonded to a glass slide. The minimum actuation voltage (Vact) of the prototype is 93V, with a switchi...
متن کاملComputational Prototyping of an RF MEMS Switch using Chatoyant
By controlling the degrees of freedom for the components in the system and using a PWL solver, a tradeoff between speed and accuracy is realized. Electrical components are modeled using a similar MNA technique. The interaction between electrical and mechanical components is accomplished by modeling the coupled energy between the domains. In this paper we demonstrate the capabilities of our syst...
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...
