2) RF intrinsic in which the MEMS structure is located inside the RF circuit and has both the actuation and RF-circuit function. In this class, one could consider traditional cantilever and diaphragm type MEMS which can be used as electrostatic microswitch and comb-type capacitors (Brown, 1998). With the invention of electroactive polymers (EAPs), multifunctional smart polymers and microstereo lithography, these types of RF MEMS can be easily conceived with polymer-based systems. They are also flexible, stable and long lasting.
Quantities Cl and Ml are compliance and mass per unit length of the line, respectively. 3 Direct analogy of electrical and mechanical domains Mechanical quantity Electrical quantity Force Voltage Velocity Current Displacement Charge Momentum Magnetic flux linkage Mass Inductance Compliance Capacitance Viscous damping Resistance Source: Tilmans, 1996. 5) V and I are the voltage and current on the transmission line (with subscripts representing its ports). 7) Ll and Cl represent the inductance and capacitance per unit length of the line, and ε and μ are the permittivity and permeability of the transmission medium.
With the invention of electroactive polymers (EAPs), multifunctional smart polymers and microstereo lithography, these types of RF MEMS can be easily conceived with polymer-based systems. They are also flexible, stable and long lasting. Moreover, they can be integrated with the organic thin film transistor. (3) RF reactive in which the MEMS structure is located inside, where it has an RF function that is coupled to the attenuation. In this class, capacitively coupled tunable filters and resonators provide the necessary RF function in the circuit.
