Thermally Actuated Multiport RF MEMS Switches and Their Performance in a Vacuumed Environment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, unique multiport RF microelectromechanical system switches are proposed as building blocks of redundancy switch matrices. Novel single-pole single-throw (SPST), single-pole double-throw (SPDT), and C-type (transfer) switches are developed, fabricated, and tested. These switches are integrated with thermal actuators that require low actuation voltage and result in high contact force. The RF measurement results reveal an excellent performance with extremely low loss. Up to 20 GHz, the SPST switch has less than 0.3 dB, the SPDT switch has less than 0.5 dB, and the C-type switch has less than 1-dB insertion loss. In addition, the vacuum behavior of these switches is evaluated, which shows a 75% reduced power consumption with an identical RF performance. These switches are excellent candidates for integrating in the form of redundancy switch matrices.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
