Power efficient, low loss and ultra-high isolation RF MEMS switch dedicated for antenna switch applications

We present a new ultra-high isolation RF MEMS latching switch with ultra-low power consumption dedicated to antenna switch applications in multiband and multi-standard transceivers. The power management of the switch is done by integrating latching actuators in the switch structure. The switch only consumes DC power while transition between operating states. In addition to ON and OFF states, the switch has also a Deep-OFF state for ultra-high isolation applications.403
