This new one-dimensional model combines the computational speed of one-dimensional models, with the accuracy of multi-dimensional models. The model includes a wide range of physical phenomena, such as squeeze film damping, contact, fringing electrostatic fields, and membrane bending. In addition, a parasitic network is developed that models the skin effect in the switch. The model is written in Verilog-A for easy implementation in any circuit simulator. The model is extensively numerically tested, and is validated on CV, transient, and S-parameter measurements. In contrast to earlier 1D models, a higher level of accuracy is achieved without the compromise of a loss of computational speed or ease-of-use in circuit simulators. | | ISBN: | 1-4200-6184-4 |
