摘要：
A new coupled circuit and electrostatic/mechanical simulator is presented for the design of RF MEMS VCOs. The numerical solution of device level equations is used to accurately compute the capacitance of the MEMS capacitor. This coupled with a circuit simulator facilitates the simulation of circuits incorporating MEMS capacitors. Simulations of a 2.4 GHz VCO implemented in a UP 0.5-mum CMOS technology show good agreement with experimentally observed behavior.
