Download or read book RF MEMS Switches with Novel Materials and Micromachining Techniques for SOC/SOP RF Front Ends written by Guoan Wang and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third project presents an RF MEMS switch developed on a low cost, flexible liquid crystal polymer (LCP) substrate. Its very low water absorption (0.04%), low dielectric loss and multi-layer circuit capability make it very appealing for RF Systems-On-a-Package (SOP). In chapter IV, a capacitive RF MEMS capacitive switch on an LCP substrate and its characterization and properties up to 40 GHz is presented for the first time.
