RF MEMS-MMIC building blocks for emerging wireless systems and RF-sensing applications
In this paper we present the main scope and initial results obtained within a pan-European research activity aiming at a successful monolithic integration of innovative RF MEMS switches into a standard GaAs MMIC process technology. Measured results of a fabricated ohmic contact type of RF MEMS switch developed by the OMMIC foundry show promising results e.g. in terms of low RF losses (0.2–0.4 dB is obtained from DC up to 30 GHz). The experimentally verified GaAs based RF MEMS switch has further been used to design low-loss MMIC building blocks such as switching, matching and phase shifting circuits for various RF applications up to 40 GHz.
