RF Filter Uses MEMS Relays.
Raytheon Company has successfully demonstrated a new frequency-agile filter that delivers 25 watts of power at very high frequency (VHF), using MEMS relays to tune the filters output. The event was the first-ever demonstration of a high power, MEMS based, tunable radio frequency (RF) device. The new technology matched or exceeded several key performance criteria of traditional RF filters in a small package.
MEMS relays provide improved intermodulation performance under high power conditions with distinct advantages in size, power and performance. With MEMS relays, the area and volume of filter-tuning circuit boards can be 50% less than conventional filters using PIN diode switches. In addition, the demonstration showed that the typical power efficiency of conventional broadband RF amplifiers, usually around 30%, can be increased to as much as 80% with MEMS ...

Etched from a silicon wafer, these Micro Machined Relay switches are smaller, faster and have longer life expectancy than traditional electromechanical relays. A chip model measures 2mm x 3mm, and a 6 pin PLCC model is 5.25mm x 5.30mm or less. Switching speed is 0.5 ins. With their decreased power
