  • Abstract
    Very wideband switched MEMS capacitors have been designed and fabricated using CMOS compatible surface micromachining process. On-wafer measurement results are presented at G-band (140-220 GHz) up to 220 GHz showing that MEMS components can be modeled accurately with lumped elements and transmission line models
