The present disclosure relates to an adjustable millimeter wave radio frequency (RF) micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) switch, including a substrate, a signal line, a metal beam, capacitive coupling structures, and a short-circuited stub. The metal beam includes two fixed ends, two bending portion and an adsorption portion, and is connected to the substrate, drive electrode and signal line. The capacitive coupling structures are located between the bending portions of the metal beam and the drive electrodes, and provide an adsorption force required for switching actuation. The MEMS switch is combined with a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) substrate and applicable to the millimeter wave operating frequency. The disclosed RF MEMS switch surpasses mainstream 26 GHz in the market, and enables adjustable operating frequencies. This RF MEMS switch is featured with a low actuating voltage, small transmission loss, and applicable to flexible printed circuit board. Extensive application potential is anticipated.
