This paper describes a fixed-fixed beam ohmic switch in series with a fixed capacitor as a replacement for a capacitive switch.In this switch,a metal plate deposited on the dielectric ensures perfectly contact with the dielectric layer in the down state.The area size of the metal plate directly influences the capacitance ratio of the switch,as the area size of the metal cap decreases,the capacitance ratio dramatically rises up.The down/up capacitance ratio can exceed 800 times over the conventional designs using the same materials and the equal size.Measurement results show that high capacitance ratio of the switches has a large effect on the isolation,and can actually improve the performance of the switches.
This paper describes a fixed-fixed beam ohmic switch in series with a fixed capacitor as a replacement for a capacitive switch. In this switch, a metal plate deposited on the dielectric may perfectly contact with the dielectric layer in the down state. The area size of the metal plate directly influences the capacitance ratio of the switch, as the area size of the metal cap decreases, the capacitance ratio substantially rises up. The down / up capacitance ratio can exceed 800 times over the conventional designs using the same materials and the equal size.Measurement results show that high capacitance ratio of the switches has a large effect on the isolation, and can actually enhance the performance of the switches.
