Compared to traditional RF relays, this amazing RF MEMS switch technology can provide a relay replacement solution that is 95% smaller, 30 times faster, 10 times more reliable, and use 10 times less power than conventional electromechanical relays. . What does all that mean? It’s time to check out this Analog Devices video.
Captured live from the floor of Electronica, this video talks succinctly about Analog Devices’ breakthrough microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switch technology. Compared to the RF relays that are typically used today, this MEMS switch technology represents a giant leap forward in RF and dc switch performance, as well as reliability and miniaturization.
This revolutionary new technology will deliver best-in-class performance from 0 Hz/dc to Ka-band and beyond. It also offer excellent linearity, extremely low power consumption and is available in chip scale packages.
Specifically, this video features the launch of the ADGM1304 0 Hz/dc to 14 GHz SP4T MEMS switch with an integrated driver. Considered by many to be a flagship product, compared to the RF relays of yesteryear.
