Modern communication systems ranging from 5G cellular to military radios are increasingly required to support a growing number of channels and frequency bands, and it is often essential to be able to ...

Here’s a MEMS relay with an integrated FET that can handle higher power levels, breaking away from the “low power” moniker associated with MEMS parts. Paul Rako takes a closer look at what makes this ...

In recent years, much progress has been made in the development of all-optical switching. In particular, switching fabrics based on mirrors built using microelectronic mechanical system (MEMS) ...

The monolithic integration of RF-MEMS with SiGe-BiCMOS technology opens the door to the creation of low-cost, highly integrated circuits. From there, the technology can power radar and imaging ...

There has been an ongoing conundrum in the RF switch application space. Historically, there have been only two types of RF switches available: electromechanical relay (EMR) and solid state (SS) ...

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to talk about future developments and challenges for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) with Gerold Schropfer, director of MEMS products and European operations ...
