Microwave modelling of radio frequency microelectromechanical rotary switches
In this study, both full 3D electromagnetic and equivalent circuit modelling of a radio frequency microelectromechanical systems (RF MEMS) single-pole eight-throw rotary switch are reported for the first time. Excellent agreement has been achieved between measurements and modelled performance for frequencies up to 12 GHz. In order to validate the effectiveness of the modelling, a 2-bit true tim...
متن کاملFloating Electrode Microelectromechanical System Capacitive Switches: A Different Actuation Mechanism
The paper investigates the actuation mechanism in floating electrode MEMS capacitive switches. It demonstrated that in the pull-in state the device operation turns from voltage to current controlled actuation. The current arises from Poole-Frenkel mechanism in the dielectric film and FowlerNordheim in the bridge-floating electrode air gap. The pull-out voltage seems to arise from the abrupt dec...
متن کاملReview of modeling electrostatically actuated microelectromechanical systems
A wide range of microelectromechanical systems (MEMSs) and devices are actuated using electrostatic forces. Multiphysics modeling is required, since coupling among different fields such as solid and fluid mechanics, thermomechanics and electromagnetism is involved. This work presents an overview of models for electrostatically actuated MEMSs. Three-dimensional nonlinear formulations for the cou...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of MicroElectroMechanical Systems
Modeling and simulation of MEMS is of vital importance to develop innovative products and to reduce time-to-market at lower total costs. Advanced design methodologies and a variety of software tools are utilized by the MEMS-Design group in order to analyze complex geometrical structures, to account for interactions among different physical domains and to capture the cooperative play of micro de...
متن کاملMultiphysics modeling of mechatronic multibody systems
Modeling mechatronic multibody systems requires the same type of methodology as for designing and prototyping mechatronic devices: a unified and integrated engineering approach. Various formulations are currently proposed to deal with multiphysics modeling, e.g. graph theories, equational approaches, cosimulation techniques. Recent works have pointed out their relative advantages and drawbacks,...
