Wikipedia, accessed online Aug. 6, 2007 (RF MEMS: The MEMS acronym stands for Micro-Electromechanical System ... RF MEMS passives, such as capacitors, inductors, resonators and switches, offer low loss, high Q factor, high linearity and good power handling ... There are various types of RF MEMS switches, switched capacitors and varactors, and they are classified by actuation method (electrostatic, magnetic, piezoelectric, thermal), by contact mechanism (capacitive, metal-to-metal), or by anchor mechanism (cantilever, fixed-fixed beam))
