Two Novel Structures for Tunable Mems Capacitor with Rf Applications
Abstract—Two novel structures for high-Q MEMS tumble capacitors are presented. The proposed designs include full plate as well as the comb structured capacitors. They can be fabricated employing surface micromachining technology which is CMOS-compatible. The structures do not require the cantilever beams which introduce considerable series resistance to the capacitor and decrease the quality fa...
متن کاملMEMS-Based Capacitor Arrays for Programmable Interconnect and RF Applications
We describe a programmable capacitor technology under development at NCSU and its potential application in building programmable interconnect devices useful for system level connectivity functions, phased array beam steering, and RF switching. Crossbars are made from arrays of electrostatically controlled bistable MEMS-based capacitors. These new devices allow faster signaling and consume less ...
متن کاملTunable Mems Capacitor For
We present the design of tunable capacitor based on MEMS simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics, which is an emerging engineering software environment used for modelling and simulation of any physical based structure. This model includes an electrostatic simulation for a given distance component in various microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) for electromagnetic fields in the radio frequency rang...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of a MEMS Variable Capacitor using Thermal Actuators Diseño y Análisis de un Capacitor Variable MEMS utilizando Actuadores Térmicos
We present the design and analysis of a MEMS variable capacitor coupled to thermal actuators. The variable capacitor is composed by two main components: 1) the capacitor built by two squared plates, which one plate is mechanically fixed to the substrate and the other is a moving plate having mechanical suspensions (springs) connected from each corner of it to the substrate, and 2) a set of ther...
متن کاملState Estimation of MEMs Capacitor Using Taylor Expansion
This paper deals with state estimation of micro tunable capacitor subjected to nonlinear electrostatic force. For this end a nonlinear observer has been designed for state estimation of the structure. Necessary and sufficient conditions for construction of the observer are presented. Stability of the observer is checked using Lyapunov theorem. Observer design is based on converting of differen...
