摘要
This paper presents the design, fabrication, and performance of a metal-to-metal contact micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) shunt switch. The switch is composed of a fixed-fixed metal beam with two pull-down electrodes and a central dc-contact area. The switch is placed in an in-line configuration in a coplanar waveguide transmission line. This topology results in a compact dc-contact shunt switch and high isolation at 0.1-18 GHz. The isolation at mm-wave frequencies is limited by the inductance to ground and is -20 dB at 18 GHz. The application areas are in wireless communications and high-isolation switching networks for satellite systems.
