RF MEMS forum

I would like to suggest a forum focusing on RF MEMS. any comments are welcomed.

 

[Humungus]

Good idea

I don't agree because it is the topic still much in research level, our forum is focus on the practical application of tools, book and information.

I do welcome discussion in RF and Microwave topic and EM Simulator topic.

Then is there any other forum about MEMS?

 

[Ahmed Alaa]

I think it is not mature enough to have a separate forum.

Good idea sir,

plz plz let's do it

I encourage a discussion on RF MEMS. I disagree with people saying that RF MEMS technology is not mature. What about pahed arrays, reconfigurable antennas, MEMS based VCOs, .... The only current problem with RF MEMS is their reliability for Aerospace applications (vibration and life cycle problems), but RF MEMS technology has been applied in an industrial level since the beginning of the 90's.

I disagree with people saying that RF MEMS technology is not mature..

Have you noticed that you disagree with an opinion posted in 2003...

Yes I noticed. That's why I tried to correct a mistake made on the forum 8 years ago and nobody replied. Just for knowledge...

MEMs in general is pretty mature, so it would make sense to have a subforum for it, or microfabrication in general. But RF MEMs is newer, and much of it is still privately held secrets.
