Modeling of Spring Constant and Pull-in Voltage of T-Shaped Radio Frequency Microelectromechanical (RF-MEMS) Cantilever Switch

This paper presents the design and simulation of a low actuation voltage microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switch for high-frequency applications. Low pull-in voltage and low spring constant of the switch were achieved by using T-shape microcantilever of specific dimension. The modelling indicate...
