Abstract
An electrical arrangement for performing radio frequency isolation for microelectromechanical relay switches. A microelectromechanical relay switch comprises a beam configured to switch from a first position connected to an upper voltage source to a second position connected to a lower voltage source. The microelectromechanical relay switch further comprises at least one frequency isolation circuit or resistor disposed adjacent to the beam. The at least one frequency isolation circuit or resistor biases a direct current potential to allow for electrostatic actuation and further provides a path for transient electrical currents during switching.
