摘要
MEMS capacitive shunt switches have attracted large interest in various microwave or min-wave applications, such as low power communication systems or phased arrayed antennas [1,2,3]. Two types of RF MEMS switches are discussed with respect to their impedance matching, scalability in frequency and related mechanical limitations. As a result, a W-band MEMS switch with a measured insertion loss of < 0.3 dB and a isolation of > 33 dB at 94 GHz is presented.
