A new MEMS switch with improved isolation, insertion loss and reduced liability for stiction is discussed for the applications in high frequency electronics and communication systems. MEMS switches are suitable for signal routing for transmit and receive applications, switched line phase shifters for phased array antennas, wide band tuning networks and high precision instrumentation applications. Typical MEMS switches are categorized by the contact methods, capacitive (metal-insulator-metal) and resistive (metal-to-metal). This talk is based on US Patent Application No. 62/469,752, March 10, 2017. It describes a new micro-electromechanical-system (MEMS) switch technology in a three-part article over the next three issues. Part I reports on MEMS switch topologies including a new defective ground structure (DGS) and metamaterial inspired capacitive contact MEMS switch; Part II reports methods to reduce stiction effects in a resistive contact MEMS switch; and Part III discusses methods to reduce static friction (or stiction) effects in a capacitive contact MEMS switch for applications in modern electronic circuits and 5G communications.
