Design and simulation of a RF MEMS shunt capacitive switch with low actuation voltage, low loss and high isolation
According to contact type, RF MEMS switches are generally classified into two categories: Capacitive switches and Metal-to-Metal ones. The capacitive switches are capable to tolerate a higher frequency range and more power than M-to-M switches. This paper presents a cantilever shunt capacitive RF MEMS switch with characteristics such as low trigger voltage, high capacitive ratio, short switchin...
متن کاملRadio Frequency-micro Electromechanical System Switch with High Speed and Low Actuated Voltage
This paper presents a novel RF MEMS (Micro Electromechanical System) fixed-fixed switch for very fast switching. Using the obtained equations, the switching time depends on the stiffness and effective mass of the switch beam so that the switching time will be decreased by higher stiffness (spring constant) and lower effective mass. In new design, the suspension bridge is a three-layer beam so t...
متن کاملUltra low actuation voltage RF MEMS switch
In this brief a new low actuation voltage RF MEMS switch is presented which can be integrated and controlled with available CMOS technologies. Despite the advantages in the design of RF MEMS switches designing a low actuation voltage RF MEMS switch is still a challenging task. To overcome this problem, a small size RF MEMS switch utilizing a moving plate with multiple holes supported by a low s...
متن کاملElectrostatically actuated silicon-based nanomechanical switch at room temperature
We demonstrate a silicon-based high-frequency nanomechanical device capable of switching controllably between two states at room temperature. The device uses a nanomechanical resonator with two distinct states in the hysteretic nonlinear regime. In contrast to prior work, we demonstrate room-temperature electrostatic actuation and sensing of the switching device with 100% fidelity by phase modu...
متن کاملDesign and Simulation of a Low-Actuation-Voltage MEMS Switch
This paper presents a low-actuation-voltage micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) capacitive shunt switch which has a very large bandwidth (4 GHz to 24 GHz). In this work, the isolation of MEMS switch is improved by adding two short high impedance transmission lines at the beginning and end of a coplanar waveguide (CPW). Simulating the switch demonstrates that a return loss (S11) is less than -...
