Abstract
A micro electromechanical system (MEMS) transfer switch for simultaneously connecting two radio frequency (RF) input transmission lines among two RF output transmission lines. The MEMS transfer switch includes a plurality of series MEMS switching units operatively arranged with the input and output transmission lines to selectively connect a first input to a first output and a second input to a second output, or the second input to the first output and the first input to the second output.
