The rapid increase in the importance and development of RF MEMS in today's technologies has emphasized the fact that reliable, sturdy and self-sufficient devices are urgently needed. We propose robust design and testing techniques for the RF MEMS reconfigurable tunable capacitor. A novel idea of significantly increasing the tuning range (by at least 10 times) has been formulated. Further, a dual-mode built-in self test (BIST) technique for the device is discussed in detail. These techniques ensure that the device is extremely powerful in providing wide range of capacitance tuning, and capable of self-testing thereby providing better fault-coverage. Mathematical calculations and ANSYS simulations are performed which prove the uniqueness and versatility of the RF MEMS reconfigurable tunable capacitor. 2006-07-21 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1148328590 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1148328590 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
