ANTENNAS • Frequency agile • Self-adaptive FILTERS • Reconfigurable • High-isolation SWITCHES • Compact • Low-power MEMS For High Frequency Circuits RF MEMS technology offers unique advantages in minimizing size and cost. Very low power requirements (W) Very low insertion loss (0.02 0.2 dB) Very high linearity (passive devices) Very compact designs (mm – nm) RF MEMS fabrication is compatible with existing IC techniques.
Why are MEMS Switches Unreliable? Switches today suffer from: Contact area wear and damage Poor power handling (< 1W) Hot switching not possible Dielectric charging Degradation in vacuum conditions Mechanical Stress and Creep in high/low Temp. Lack of affordable and reliable packaging
