ABSTRACT:
An impedance matching structure for a RF MEMS switch having at least one closeable RF contact in an RF line, the impedance matching structure comprising a protuberance in the RF line immediately adjacent the RF contact that forms one element of a capacitor, the other element of which is formed by the switch's ground plane.
