RF MEMS for reconfigurable radios

Adaptive and reconfigurable radios have been seen a potential solution to increase system performance and improve functionality. RF MEMS technology is one of the most promising technologies for such systems. In addition to high performance required in reconfigurable systems, RF MEMS technology can also be easily scaled from handset applications to sub-millimeter wave frequencies just by scaling physical dimensions. This presentation shows latest advances of RF MEMS based reconfigurable circuits and sub-systems to be used in several applications such as base stations, multi-functional radars and adaptive radio link
