The invention relates to a radio frequency MEMS switch having elastic beam contacts. The radio frequency MEMS switch mainly comprises a substrate, a microwave transmission wire, a driving electrode, a lower electrode, a fixing anchor point, an upper electrode, a release hole, an air bridge and a leading wire, wherein the microwave transmission wire, the driving electrode and the leading wire are arranged on the substrate, the driving electrode is arranged below the upper electrode, the upper electrode is a straight plate-shaped structure, the upper electrode is fixed on the microwave transmission wire through the fixing anchor point, the lower electrode employs a double-contact structure having double elastic beams, the elastic beams are fixed on the microwave transmission wire through the fixing anchor point, and the double elastic beams are provided with the contacts respectively. From the aspect of mechanical performance, the impact effect of the upper electrode rapidly pulled down under the electrostatic action on the lower electrode can be reduced, the buffer effect is realized, the contacts and the upper electrode are protected, from the aspect of electrical performance, effective contact can be enhanced, switch burning and adhesion caused by weak contact can be avoided, a reliability problem caused by virtual connection of traditional double contacts can be effectively solved, and service life of the switch is improved to a large degree.
