Washington, DC — The International Microwave Symposium (IMS), which took place here in June 2024, featured a wide array of RF, microwave, and mmWave components. These components range from passive connectors and waveguides to amplifiers, switches, filters, and data converters. In general, these components make their way into military communications systems or commercial wireless networks.…
IMS 2023 roundup: semiconductors and microwave components
Through photos and videos, EE World covers some of the active and passive components that RF and wireless engineers need to connect us all.
IMS 2022 video: Menlo Micro
See how Menlo Micro’s RF switches work in a beam-steering application.
SP4T RF switch passes 25 W of power
The MM5120 from Menlo Micro lets you send an RF signal to as many as four locations such as filters or antennas.
Differential switch routes high-frequency signals
The MM5600 DPDT switch from Menlo Micro routes signals to 20 GHz, 40 Gb/sec. 5G is one of the technologies driving the need for higher-speed digital and RF signals. Those signals, which often run over differential pairs through a PCB, typically need switching. MEMS switches offer fast switching speeds with low power and low signal…
Video: “Ideal” switch cuts signal losses
A MEMS RF switch from Menlo Micro helps eliminate the decision of whether to design a semiconductor or mechanical switch into your circuits.
