ABSTRACT:
A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switch that includes a signal contact, an actuation electrode and a beam that engages the signal contact when a voltage is applied to the actuation electrode. The signal contact includes a first portion and a second portion. The actuation electrode is positioned between the first and second portions of the signal contact.
