提出了一种基于微机电系统(MEMS)开关的射频衰减器的设计方案。首先在DC20 GHz内,以10 dB衰减量为目标,对整体电路结构进行设计,选择以共面波导(CPW)为传输线,接触式MEMS开关作为控制器件,同时以开关中的电容作为断路时的平衡器件进行电路匹配;然后按所需衰减量计算T型网络中各个电阻大小;按照计算值,在CST微波工作室中建模仿真得到工艺加工需要的尺寸;最后结合UV-LIGA工艺对衰减器进行了样片试制并对其性能进行了测试。测试结果显示,在DC20 GHz内,目标衰减量为10 dB时,最大偏差可以控制在2 dB之内。结果表明,以MEMS开关为基础的衰减器,可以在宽频带内实现更加稳定的衰减。
Abstract：A design scheme of RF attenuators based on micro-electromechanical system(MEMS)switches was put forward.Firstly,the circuit was designed with the attenuation of 10 dB in the band of DC-20 GHz.The coplanar waveguide(CPW)was chosen as a transmission line,and the MEMS series switches as control components.Besides the switch capacitance was designed as a balanced component to match the circuit when it was disconnected.Then each resistance in the T network was calculated according to the required attenuation.After that,the structure model was built and simulated by CST Microwave Studio based on the calculated data,determining the size needed in the fabrication process.Finally,the sample of the attenuator was made with UVLIGA process and its performance was tested.The test results show that the maximum deviation can be controlled within 2 dB in the band of DC-20 GHz with an expected attenuation of 10 dB.It turns out that the attenuator based on MEMS switches can realize more stable attenuation within the broadband.
