Piezoelectric MEMS Resonator Technology with Integrated Phase Change Material Switches
The system:ΓÇóIs highly compact and miniaturizedΓÇóRequires a much lower voltage (1-2.5V) to programΓÇóIs capable of effectively operating at multiple frequenciesΓÇóHas a simpler fabrication, making it highly cost effectiveΓÇóAvoids use of power to keep the switch in either of the states (ON or OFF)ΓÇóHas a higher performance as compared to conventional systemsΓÇóHas a much reduced development cost as compared to conventional multi-band radiosΓÇóEffectively eliminates the necessity of shopping vendors for different frequenciesΓÇóHas a reduced component count as compared to conventional systems, allowing programming of the system even without additional RF elements such as capacitorsΓÇóUses phase-change switches that doesnΓÇÖt require creation of micro/nano scale gaps as observed with conventional switchesΓÇóHas reconfiguration functionalities, capable of operating in severely crowded and rapidly changing modern commercial and military spectral environmentΓÇóWould be commercially useful for:oImplementation of high performance RF wireless communicationoFabrication of filter platformsoVarious radio front-end applicationsoAmateur Home Radio Setups
