RF MEMS in mobile phones
نویسنده
چکیده
The need for multiband, multimode band switching at low insertion loss while maintaining excellent linearity in mobile phones is driving the need for RF MEMS-based switches. Since this switching problem gets even more acute as new complex waveforms, such as WiMAX are added to this mix, this article looks at the current state of development in RF MEMS switches and discusses its impact on 3G cellular phones.

The radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) produced by widely used mobile phones are classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Current data on the relationship between exposure to RF-EMFs generated by commercial mobile phones and brain cancer are controversial. Our studies show that this controversy may be caused by several par...
متن کاملRF MEMS Switches for Antenna Applications
RF Micro-Electro-Mechanical (MEM) switches have numerous potential applications from mode switching in cell phones at 1-2 GHz to phased array antennas for space-based radar applications. However, environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and foreign contaminants play a significant role in switch reliability and lifetime. The effects of these environmental factors must be mitigated to...
