  • Abstract
    A lumped element model for microwave MEMS switches in series configuration is discussed. The equivalent circuit that is presented, composed of inductors, resistors and capacitors in the OFF state, can be easily implemented in commercial software packages. Good agreement with experimental results confirms the validity of the proposed model.
