Excerpt: The RF MEMS acronym stands for radio frequency microelectromechanical system, and refers to components of which moving sub-millimeter-sized parts provide RF functionality. RF functionality can be implemented using a variety of RF technologies. Besides RF MEMS technology, ferrite, ferroelectric, GaAs, GaN, InP, RF CMOS, SiC, and SiGe technology are available to the RF designer. Each of the RF technologies offers a distinct trade-off between cost, frequency, gain, large scale integration, lifetime, linearity, noise figure, packaging, power consumption, power handling, reliability, repeatability, ruggedness, size, supply voltage, switching time and weight. There are various types of RF MEMS components, such as RF MEMS resonators and self-sustained oscillators with low phase noise, RF MEMS tunable inductors, and RF MEMS switches, switched capacitors and varactors. More to come. RF MEMS switches, switched capacitors and varactors, which can replace field effect transistor (FET) switches and PIN diodes, are classified by actuation method (electrostatic, electrothermal, magnetic, piezoelectric), by axis of deflection (laterally, vertically), by circuit configuration (series, shunt), by clamp configuration (cantilever, fixed-fixed beam), or by contact interface (capacitive, ohmic) . Electrostatically-actuated RF MEMS components offer low insertion loss and high isolation, high linearity, high power handling and high Q factor, do not consume power, but require a high supply...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=12368347
