The MEMS-4-MMIC project aims at the integration of RF-MEMS switches onto Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMIC) creating highly integrated multifunctional building blocks for high-value applications. The project aims to provide the enabling technology platform needed for the future stablishment of an RF-MEMS MMIC manufacturing base within Europe.
As a proof-of-concept an RF-MEMS MMIC based antenna module will be realised at the end of project showing the innovative character and possibilities for commercial exploitation.
The final objective of the co-financing project MEMS4MMIC is represented in optimized antennas array modules in LTCC technology for 77 GHz.
