A wideband 8-12 GHz inline type microwave power sensor,which has both working and non-working states,is presented.The power sensor measures the microwave power coupled from a CPW line by a MEMS membrane.In order to reduce microwave losses during the non-working state,a new structure of working state transfer switches is proposed to realize the two working states.The fabrication of the power sensor with two working states is compatible with the GaAs MMIC(monolithic microwave integrated circuit) process.The experimental results show that the power sensor has an insertion loss of 0.18 dB during the non-working state and 0.24 dB during the working state at a frequency of 10 GHz.This means that no microwave power has been coupled from the CPW line during the non-working state.
