Radio Frequency Micro Electro Mechanical Systems Switch Applications for Reconfigurable Multifunctional Communication Systems

现代超宽带雷达和无线通信应用的最新进展需要高性能和可重构的射频子系统，这些子系统可以使用通用硬件简化多种复杂功能。这些趋势对无源和有源设备提出了苛刻的要求。据报道，射频微机电系统（RF MEMS）开关具有极低的损耗和高隔离性，并且具有微观性能，这使得它们在可重构电路中得到了应用。该提案涉及基于射频MEMS的可重构器件的开发，该器件将实现各种端口和通道之间的灵活互连，并优化带宽的使用。该项目的成果将为澳大利亚电信业带来重大利益。

Recent advances in modern ultra wideband radar and wireless communications applications demanded high performance and reconfigurable Radio Frequency subsystems that simplify multiple complex functions using common hardware. These trends impose drastic requirements on passive and active devices. The reported performance of Radio Frequency Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (RF MEMS) switches, with extremely low loss and high isolation, microsopic, have lead to their applications in reconfigurable circuits. The proposal deals with the development of RF MEMS based reconfigurable devices that will enable flexible interconnections between various ports and channels and optimize the usage of bandwidth. The outcomes of this project will be of significant benefit to the Australian Telecommunication industry.
