Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to the combination of MEMS intrinsic technology with specifically designed solid state ESD protection circuits in state of the art solid state technology for RF applications. Using ESD protection in MEMS devices has some level of complexity in the integration which can be seen by some as a disadvantage. However, the net benefits in the level of overall performance for insertion loss, isolation and linearity outweighs the disadvantages.
