Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of low-loss RF MEMS capacitive switches
TL;DR: In this paper, the construction and performance of metal membrane radio frequency MEMS switches at microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies was described. But the authors focused on the performance of the switches in terms of on-off capacitance ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micromachined low-loss microwave switches
TL;DR: In this paper, the design and fabrication of a micromechanical capacitive membrane microwave switching device is described, which consists of a thin metallic membrane, which has two states, actuated or unactuated, depending on the applied bias.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first experimental characterization of dielectric charging within capacitive RF MEMS switches has been demonstrated and their lifetimes were measured using a dual-pulse waveform with 30 to 65 V of actuation voltage.
Performance of Low-Loss RF
TL;DR: In this paper, the construction and performance of metal membrane radio frequency MEMS switches at mi-cave and millimeter-wave frequencies were described. But their performance was limited by their low loss ( 0.25 dB at 35 GHz) with good isolation (35 dB at35 GHz).

Substrate supported three-dimensional micro-coil
TL;DR: In this article, a method of forming a three-dimensional micro-coil on a substrate (10) is provided, which consists of creating a first metal layer (14) on the substrate and partitioning it into a first plurality of metal strips (16).
