Abstract :
An efficient approach for the design and analysis of RF MEMS switches and related components is presented. It is shown that the developed ANN model preserves the accuracy of the full-wave FEM model while having large savings in the running time. The proposed methodology is suitable for CAD and optimization for MEMS switches embedded in RF/microwave circuits.
