Abstract
We present an experimental study of some GaAs MMIC based
RF-MEMS switch networks used here as limiter test
circuits and that were tested also within a standard
low-frequency package. The small and large signal results
for such discrete as well as packaged GaAs MEMS limiter
MMICs shows possibilities for obtaining a very wideband
RF power limiter functionality within small circuit
dimensions. Self switch actuation tests made on a
packaged GaAs MEMS limiter circuit showed a power
limiting effect of 11 dB for an RF input power of 16 dBm
at 4 GHz
