Electrical Lumped Model for Implemented RF-MEMS Capacitive Switch on Semi-suspended Coplanar-waveguide
A novel electrical lumped model for an RF MEMS capacitive switch which is implemented on a semi-suspended coplanar-waveguide is proposed and studied.The quality factor is mathematically studied taking the effects of air-gaps and substrate resistance into consideration.Results indicate that increasing the equivalent resistance of transmitting line and the switch,series resistance,in down-state has negative effect and can considerably decrease the quality factor.Increasing the capacitance of the switch also has a negative effect on the quality factor.Increasing the substrate resistance improves the quality factor.Lower capacitance can allow the switch to operate with a wider bandwidth of high quality factors and larger capacitance can make the bandwidth narrower.
