abstract

  • This paper presents a new hybrid methodology for modeling RF-MEMS switches. This method combines the usual finite element-boundary integration (FE-BI) method for the fixed section of the switch, and the method of moment for the movable beam. This approach is intended to address the large 100:1 scale variation within a single computational domain, which also spans a very small fraction of a wavelength.
