Modeling of a High-Frequency Microelectromechanical X-Band Switch for Space Applications

详细

The results of modeling of microwave and mechanical characteristics of an X-band switch based on the technology of high-frequency microelectromechanical structures are presented. A method for design of a device operating directly in the external environment and a device whose moving components are placed in a dielectric case. Characteristics of the optimized switches are determined. Estimated mechanical calculations confirming high stability of the developed high-frequency microelectromechanical structure switches in the temperature range specific of devices used in the space industry are also performed.
