摘要: To reduce the complexity and cost of future telecommunication systems, electrically tunable or reconfigurable filters based on radio frequency microelectromechanical systems (RF MEMS) waveguide technology constitute a very promising solution, since they allow for high $Q$ good tunability. Three concepts using ohmic RF MEMS switches are described in this paper, compared terms performance manufacturing complexity. Quality factors order 1000 tunability 5% shown both by High-Frequency Structure Simulator simulations experimental results $K$ -band.
