MEMS For Wireless Communications
Abstract
The primary objectives of this project are 1) identification and study of the physical performance limitations incurred when extending the frequency range of miniaturized, micro-scale mechanical resonators to the VHF, UHF, and S-Band ranges; 2) implementation of prototype high-Q micromechanical filters and oscillators in these frequency ranges; and 3) subsequent incorporation of these components into the RF and IF stages of compact, inexpensive wireless transceivers. The proposed devices are not only orders of magnitude smaller than existing discrete resonator equivalents, but are also expected to outperform their macroscopic counterparts in insertion loss and percent bandwidth.
