MEMS switch contact bouncing mitigation using novel dual-pulse actuation voltage

A novel dual-pulse actuation voltage that reduces dielectric charging in micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) switch and thus leading to a longer switch lifetime, are shown to simultaneously mitigate MEMS switch contact bouncing. A simple mass-spring-damper mathematical model is used to simulate mo...
