Funded Activity Summary

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