Abstract
This project focuses on designing a novel tunable composite right/left-handed
transmission line (CRLH TL) using integrated microelectromechanical system
(MEMS) switches. One unit cell of CRLH TL has been developed and simulated
by EM solvers in this article, which consists of design of interdigital
capacitors and stub inductors to add additional series capacitance and shunt
inductance. The structure is analyzed using CST Microwave Studio (MWS) and
AWR2009. We realized the balanced unit cell of CRLH TL at the frequency point
of 8GHz, 9GHz, 10GHz, 11GHz and 12GHz. In addition, dispersion curves of the
unit cells are generated by MATLAB2010 to verify the characterization of the
CRLH TL. Furthermore, zero order resonator made up of three cells of CRLH TL
is constructed to further testify the characteristic of the unit cell of CRLH
TL. In a novel approach, RF MEMS Switches with high reliability are designed
and tested. Models of tunable unit cell is set up which implements the RF MEMS
switch to add to the capacitors and inductors to make the frequency range
tunable, while the line impedance is still matching and the structure balanced
during tuning. By testing in CST and AWR, it is proved that the switch has
high isolation at on state and low insertion loss at off state. The different
states are determined by controlling the admittance of capacitors and
impedance of inductors through MEMS switch operations.
