Abstract

Microelectromechanical (MEM) switches have been recently considered as alternative key elements with respect to PIN diode switches for high frequency applications. In spite of many configurations proposed in literature, a full theoretical modeling of the MEM switches is still in progress by using numerical and analytical approaches. In this paper, a phenomenological modeling of a classical MEM switch configuration is presented, to describe the microwave performances resulting from this mechanical device.
