Wireless communication has led to an explosive growth of emerging consumer and military
applications of radio frequency (RF), microwave and millimeter wave circuits and systems …

MEMS switches are devices that use mechanical movement to achieve a short circuit or an
open circuit in the RF transmission line. RF MEMS switches are the specific …

In this paper the design of a compact, efficient and electronically tunable antenna is
presented. A single-fed resonant slot loaded with a series of PIN diode switches constitute …

In this paper, a closed-form expression for the pull-in voltage of fixed–fixed beams and fixed–
free beams is derived starting from the known expression of a simple lumped spring-mass …

This paper reports on the design, fabrication, and testing of a low-actuation voltage
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switch for high-frequency applications. The …

Surface roughness seriously affects the electromagnetic performance of capacitive radio
frequency (RF) micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) switches. This review presents the …

Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) bridge capacitors have been used to design
miniature and tunable bandpass filters at 18-22 GHz. Using coplanar waveguide …

Triboelectric-electret nanogenerators (T-ENG) are characterized by their high output voltage
and small current and therefore a relatively low output power, making them limited to small …

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study of the nonlinear effects generated
RF-microelectromechanical system (MEMS) varactors and capacitive switches. The …

For pt. 1 see ibid., vol. 48, no. 6, p. 1045-1052 (2000). In this paper, the second of two parts,
the equivalent RLC model of the shunt switch is used in the design of tuned two-and four …
