CONTROL OF BOUNCING IN RF MEMS SWITCHES USING DOUBLE ELECTRODE

摘要: MEMS based mechanical switches are seen to be the likely replacements for CMOS due several advantages that these have over switches. Mechanical can used in systems under extreme conditions and also provide more reliability cause less power loss. A major problem with is bouncing. Bouncing an undesirable characteristic which increases switching time causes damage switch structure affecting overall life. This thesis proposes a new design may mitigate bouncing by using two voltage sources double electrode configuration. The effect of many switch’s tunable parameters discussed effective tuning technique provided. results compared current control schemes literature show scheme viable option.
