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].”
Low-actuation voltage RF MEMS shunt switch with cold switching lifetime of seven billion cycles (2003, background): “They are a promising circuit element for reconfigurable circuit applications [ 5 ], and their ability to directly integrate with high-speed electronics makes them a low-cost solution.”
A DC-to-40 GHz four-bit RF MEMS true-time delay network (2001, background): “Recent progress on metal-to-metal contact MEMS switches developed at Rockwell Science Center [5] has enabled fabrication of high-quality switched-line true-time delay networks for the first time.”
Low-loss 2- and 4-bit TTD MEMS phase shifters based on SP4T switches (2003, methodology): “This performance level is achieved using SP4T switches designed with MEMS series switches, which reduces the number of switches in any signal path by half (Fig. 1). The MEMS switch used is a series dc-contact switch from Rockwell Scientific, Thousand Oaks, CA, which has a very low up-state capacitan”
The Search for a Reliable MEMS Switch (2013, background): “Teledyne Scientific, HRL, Motorola, and IBM also had an extensive metalcontact switch effort in the mid 1990s to 2000, but no products were released since the switches were not packaged [6], [8], [9].”
