  Design of Electrostatic RF Switch using COMSOL

  By Shivashankar Huddar, Vishal Hampannavar, Pooja Patil, Krithika Shetty, Rajshekhar Savadi

  Abstract: This paper presents the design, modeling, and measurements of radio frequency micro electromechanical systems (RF MEMS) switches. These models are rectangular, taper, and meandering beam structures. The characteristics of RF MEMS switches including displacement and natural frequency are studied. Rectangular, taper, and meandering structures are selected because these three structures display different geometrical shapes. Geometrical shapes are one of the important factors as far as the mechanical and electronic characteristics …

  A Study of Micro Bridge and Its Deformation

  By Shivashankar Huddar, Krithika Shetty, Girija Hallikeri, Vishal Hampannavar, Rajshekhar Savadi

  Abstract: This study is performed to know which material implication results into maximum deformation or deflection for a chosen micro bridge structure. The analysis is carried out using COMSOL multiphysics. The study of centrally suspended cantilever model for materials such as polysilicon, copper, su8 and PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) is done. It is found that PMMA gives the maximum deflection as compared to the other three materials for applied constant force 1 uN.Keywords: …
