  • 摘要: 提出了一种新型的腔体式共面波导型微机械射频开关的结构,可动的金属/电介质的复合膜结构的共面波导既可作射频开关,同时也构成微波信号的传输路径。在普通电阻率(4-8 Ω·cm)的硅片上,采用表面微机械加工技术制作出体积大小为:1000μm×600μm×300μm的射频开关,驱动电压为35 V,在射频信号频率为50 MHz到10 GHz的范围内,该开关的插入损耗低于2dB,隔离度高于40dB。

     

    Abstract: A novel structure of a capacitive Micro-Electrical-Mechanical-System (MEMS) RF switch was presented. A part of CPW transmission line is made up of Metal/Dielectric layers whichis above a cavity on a silicon wafer with a resistivity of 4-8 Ω·cm, it can move up and down acting as a RF switch. The RF switch with dimension of 1000μm×600μm×300μm was fabricated by thesurface micromachining technology. In the range of 50 MHz to 10 GHz, the switch actuates under 35 V,the insertion loss and isolation are measured to be less than 2dB and better than 40dB, respectively.
