One such area is microwave and millimetre wave systems. The recent developments in wireless communication devices forced the market to obtain miniaturized efficient devices, which is possible only by the development of radio frequency (RF) MEMS. RF MEMS switches have become one of the fast rising technologies in recent years due to their superior RF performance. In this paper, RF MEMS Switch: an overview includes RF MEMS fabrication technology, application area, advantages of RF MEMS switches and MEMS design tools. Two types of RF MEMS switches are presented in this paper: one is the shunt MEMS switch, and the other one is the series MEMS switch.
