Microwave Performance Simulation of RF-MEMS Switch

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the calculation model of capacitive RF-MEMS switch for the isolation and insertion loss, and then adopts CST software to simulate microwave performances. The simulation results show that return loss can reach-21.5dB and isolation can reach-0.26dB when the distance between contacting metal and dielectric layer adopts 2ڌ̏̽, 6×103ڌ̏̽2 of contacting area and 20ڌ̏̽ of groove depth.
