  • Abstract
    This paper focuses on the design of DC contact series switch built with MEMS technology. It uses a novel contact electrode that allows to have a high isolation and low insertion loss. This approach resulted in good performances with measured insertion loss of 0.1dB and 45 dB isolation at 2 GHz.
