RF MEMS Based Tunable Circuit for Wireless Communication

V.G. Umale, S.N. Ganorkar

Abstract


Modern wireless systems have an increasing need for multiband and tunable microwave and millimeter wave components. The Wireless communication system has several tunable circuits, which reduces the number of the circuits, size, and cost of the front-end. The application of micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology to RF systems enables production of components with low power consumption, high linearity, low insertion loss and high isolation. RF MEMS components are particularly attractive due to their tunable properties. The current dramatic trends of private conversation gadgets forced the marketplace to acquire miniaturized green devices, that is viable simplest by the improvement of radio frequency (RF) MEMS.
