- Abstract
-
- RF Micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS)
has recently proved extremely low-loss
components (switches, phase shifters, tunable
filters) from 1 GHz to 100 GHz. In fact, we can
now build a 3-bit phase shifter with an
insertion loss of 0.6 dB/bit at 7-15 GHz and 0.9
dB/bit at 75-100 GHz.
-
- Also, tunable filters with extremely good
linearity have been demonstrated at 18-22 GHz
and with an IIP3 of > 80 dBm. We currenly
understand many aspects of MEMS switches
including their fabrication, mechanical
electrical modeling and their circuit design.
However, can we use them now ? RF MEMS still
have reliability, packaging and yield problems,
and we are working
- furiously trying to solve these problems.
This talk will present the last happening in
this very dynamic field.
