Achieving wide bandwidths, high reliability, and commercial producibility in a tiny RF MEMS switch has been an elusive goal since the technology was first realized.

A new type of MEMS switch that uses electrostatic levitation to offer a more robust system has been developed by Binghamton University’s Mechanical Engineering Department.

News Release 14-Apr-2021 Photonic MEMS switches going commercial Switch that uses existing fabrication method a step toward integration in data communication networks Peer-Reviewed Publication ...

The MEMS switches have been subject to office and shock tests up to 500 g's with no effect. MEMS mirrors can sustain such shocks because shock sensitivity is proportional to mass. The smaller the ...

Here we describe a MEMS high-power six-channel switch (Figure 1 ) for WPT applications that provides high-channel density, ultra-low parasitics, and extreme power handling, avoiding some of the ...

GE Global Research announced it developed a brand new switch technology that can be used for enhancing the radios used in 4G phones to provide much faster speeds. Called a “MEMS switch”, it ...

While a MEMS switch also uses a mechanical approach, it is a micro electromechanical device fabricated in a wafer-level manufacturing process in a semiconductor fab.

General Electric has created a 3GHz RF MEMS switch that can handle up to 5kW of power. Measuring just 50 x 50µm, the device is expected to enable increased data transfer speeds, enhanced signal ...

MEMS Switch Technology Delivers 0-Hz (DC) to Wideband RF Performance Unlike other switch alternatives such as solid-state relays, the ADGM1304 and ADGM1004 MEMS switches have superior precision ...
