Abstract :
This paper proposes an accurate analysis of Microelectromechnanical (MEM) switches using the Lumped Element-Finite Difference Time Domain (LE-FDTD) method enriched of the Short-Open Calibration (SOC) technique. The application of this method allows the electrical behavior of MEM switches to be accurately predicted while reducing the computational CPU time.
