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 کاملDesign, Analysis and Comparison of Various MEMS Switches for Reconfigurable Planar Antenna
This paper presents design and analysis of a novel beam for electrostatically actuated Radio Frequency Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (RF MEMS) shunt switches. In the proposed beam design, geometrical variations in terms of structure shape, material, gap, introduction of holes and changing the length and width of anchor have led to good RF performance. The holes in the beam (maximum up to 60%...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Low Actuation Voltage Rf Mems Switch
This paper reports on the design of a novel ultra low actuation voltage, low loss radio frequency micro-electro-mechanical system (RF MEMS) capacitive shunt switch. The concept of the switch relies on a mechanically unconstrained armature actuated over a coplanar waveguide using electrostatic forces. The minimum actuation voltage of the switch is <2V, with an isolation of 40dB and insertion los...
متن کاملMechanical Design of RF MEMS Capacitive Switches
This paper analyses the mechanical behaviour of various suspensions of electrostatically actuated RF MEMS switches. A family of capacitive switches is described, with suspensions varying step by step from cantilevers to meander shaped double clamped beams. The result is a capacitive shunt switch with a designed actuation voltage of 4.5 V, and 20dB isolation and 0.04 dB insertion loss at a fre...
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...
