Effect of nanoscale heating on electrical transport in RF MEMS switch contacts (2005, background): “This performance makes them attractive alternatives to solid-state switches in military and commercial radar systems, satellite and wireless communications systems, and wireless sensors [4].”
Intermodulation distortion and power handling in RF MEMS switches, varactors, and tunable filters (2003, background): “switches and varactors have demonstrated impressive performances in terms of losses, reliability, and tuning range during the last few years [ 1 ], [2].”
Tuning in to RF MEMS (2009, background): “RF MEMS devices are well covered in [1] and [2] and consist of four different designs (Figure 1): Metal-contact switches 1) with excellent performance from dc to 100 GHz (see Radant MEMS [3]).”
Frequency-reconfigurable antennas for multiradio wireless platforms (2009, background): “Since RF-MEMS switches rely on physical metallic connections, they offer exceptionally low insertion loss, relatively high isolation, extremely high linearity, and very wide bandwidth [17].”
Electromechanical considerations in developing low-voltage RF MEMS switches (2003, background): “Several universities and companies have developed RF MEMS switches [1]–[8] in the last decade that can be primarily classified as: 1) series or shunt; 2) fixed–fixed membranes or cantilever beams; and 3) capacitive or metal-to-metal contact type [9].”
