In this paper RF MEMS switches in coplanar waveguide (CPW) configuration designed for redundancy space applications have been analyzed, to demonstrate their reliability in terms of microwave performances when subjected to DC actuations up to one million cycles. As a result, both the investigated structures fulfill the current electrical requirements expected for redundancy logic purposes.

Abstract

In this paper RF MEMS switches in coplanar waveguide (CPW) configuration designed for redundancy space applications have been analyzed, to demonstrate their reliability in terms of microwave performances when subjected to DC actuations up to one million cycles. As a result, both the investigated structures fulfill the current electrical requirements expected for redundancy logic purposes.
