摘要：
We report experimental results for a capacitive MEMS shunt switch that employs Dynamic Pull-in (V-DP = V-DC + RMS v(ac)) as an actuation method. We show that V-DP is significantly less than the static pull-in voltage (V-SP = V-DC) traditionally used for actuation. We also show that the reduction in actuation voltage can be enhanced be operating at the nonlinear resonance frequency.
