摘要: A new tunable capacitor based on a standard microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology has been demonstrated. Its unique feature was the use of thermal actuators as indirect drives to change air gap from 2 0.2 /spl mu/m for high-Q MM-wave capacitors. Such drive scheme achieved sub-/spl controllability. The insertion loss polysilicon MEMS measured be -4dB at 40 GHz. would have better than -1 dB if were coated with metal.
