Packaged single pole double thru (SPDT) and true time delay lines (TTDL) based on RF MEMS switches

“…For high performance components and delay lines this RF MEMS switches are used. The designed switch is used in different applications like telecommunication as well as in mobiles handsets, cellular based station, tuneable filters signal routing phased array antenna [2]. RF MEMS switches have become the most important part of any RF SYSTEMS [3] .The unit contains of two types of RF MEMS switches, they are the series and the shunt switch.…”

The paper presents a RF MEMS (Radio-Frequency-Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System) of cantilever series switch which is developed with low actuation voltage which depends upon the beam characteristics and the gap between the plane and metal beam. The MEMS series switch that designed is operating with a frequency range (0-60GHz) and it provides control of the other devices. The RF MEMS switching component consists of a electrode with tuning fork shaped which is fixed using anchor points on coplanar waveguide lines to decrease the actuation voltage and the insertion loss of the switch. The Air gap in between the tuning fork shaped electrode and actuation electrode of RF MEMS series switch is designed to boost the isolation attributes of the switch with less actuation voltage. The switching voltage for designing the switch is 18 V. The designed RF MEMS series switch can be used for subsystem level for broadband applications and communication devices.

“…Its RF performance is excellent over a large frequency band (DC-30 GHz) [1][2][3]. At the same time, two examples are commercially available: RMSW220 (RadantMEMS) and 2SMES-01 (OMRON Electronic components) whose bandwidth is narrower (DC-12 GHz).…”

“…FSS is infinite periodically arranged metallic-patch elements or aperture elements within a metallic screen. It can be used in various applications, such as subreflectors of the frequency reuse system, band-pass radomes for radar cross section controlling and so on [2,3]. FSS should be an infinite array theoretically but in practical applications FSS is finite.…”

A large band SPDT (single-pole double-throw) switch based on a very advanced RF-MEMS switch technology for redundancy schemes are presented. This device allowed to reach state-of-the-art working bandwidth (DC-50 GHz) and RF performances (IL (Insection loss) < 0.8 dB, isolation > 25 dB, and RL > 20 dB). The 200 mm MEMS technology process has demonstrated a very good stability with very low dispersion (deviations < 0.05 dB for the IL and < 0.6 dB for the isolation over the entire wafer and frequency range). An accurate electrical equivalent circuit, modeling the SPDT in the DC-65 GHz frequency band, has allowed to extract a contact resistance which is as low as 1.4 X. V C 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
