Abstract
RF Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System switches (MEMS) have experienced a
tremendous progress during the last decade in terms of technology development
and RFapplications. Integrating RF-MEMS switches and MMIC (Monolithic
Microwave Integrated Circuits) is considered the next logical and economical
step in MMIC development. The project MEMS-4-MMIC aims at the physical merging
of two different concepts: innovative RF-MEMS switches on one side and proven
MMIC technology on the other side thus creating highly integrated
multifunctional building blocks for highvalue applications such as
reconfigurable telecommunication systems, phased arrays for mobile satellite
platforms and radar. Within the project, the RF-MEMS MMIC designs will target
ohmic switches at frequencies up to approximately 40 GHz.
