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 کاملRF MEMS Extended Tuning Range Varactor and Varactor Based True Time Delay Line Design
MEMS varactors are one of the important passive MEMS devices. Their applications include use in VCOs, tunable impedance matching networks, tunable filters, phase shifters, and true time delay lines. The shunt capacitive structure has been employed in most of the conventional MEMS varactor designs because of its simplicity. However, the capacitance ratio of this conventional shunt capacitive MEM...
متن کاملA torsional MEMS varactor with wide dynamic range and low actuation voltage
A MEMS varactor using torsional beams for actuation is proposed. Analytical expression for electrostatic torque developed is derived. The structure is compared with existing structures for dynamic range and actuation voltage. It is demonstrated that the proposed varactor outperforms the other structures in terms of wide dynamic range and lower actuation voltage, coupled with ease of fabrication...
متن کاملRF MEMS, BST, and GaAs Varactor System-Level Response in Complex Modulation Systems
This article presents the response of RF microelectromechanical systems (RF MEMS), barium strontium titanate (BST), and gallium arsenide (GaAs)-based tunable filters and reconfigurable matching networks to a wideband code-division-multiple-access signal centered at 1.95 GHz. The RF MEMS tunable filter and impedance tuner result in very low intermodulation distortion and spectral regrowth compar...
