Abstract

In this paper, we describe a new GaAs-based micromachined microstrip line, supported by an electrically supported air-gapped microstrip line (DAML) structure and developed using RF MEMS techniques to achieve low losses at millimeter-wave frequency bands with wide impedance ranges. The measured DAML with a 10-μm post height shows less than 1.5-dB/cm attenuation at 50 GHz with 20-100Ω, which agrees well with the simulated results.
