    Abstract

    A CMOS compatible metal micromachining fabrication has been used for realizing tunable millimeter wave MEMS components. Experimental results show that components can be optimized to have wideband performance with low loss and good matching. Repeatability measurements have been carried out for digital type switched capacitors without significant change in the component performance, when they were cycled between states up to 50 million times with 100 Hz frequency and 50% duty cycle.
