High Isolation Single-Pole Four-Throw RF MEMS Switch Based on Series-Shunt Configuration

Figure 2

Top view of SP4T switch is shown. At the output ends capacitive switch membranes are placed in shunt configuration (connected to ground planes). The ohmic switches has two-piece metal contact to connect the signal line. In the lower right region, membranes are made transparent to demonstrate electrodes, dielectric layer, and contact points beneath.
