Abstract :
This article details about the design of a RF MEMS Metal to Metal Contact Type Shunt Switch. This switch has been designed in High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) & all the Radio Frequency characteristics have been studied in this paper. The electromagnetic behaviour of this switch which is obtained from the simulation result is satisfactory. This Switch operates perfectly for microwave frequency band (1-40 GHz) applications.
