MEMS switch operates up to 26,5 GHz
14 November 2007
Passive Components
TeraVicta Technologies developed what was said to be the world's fastest single-pole, double-throw MEMS switch, capable of operating from DC to 26,5 GHz.
The TT1244 delivers ultra low insertion loss (0,1 dB at DC up to 1,8 dB at 26,5 GHz) and outstanding linearity (IP3) greater than 75 dBm for improved system performance - all in a standard surface mount micro BGA chip scale package. Applications for the TT1244 switch include automated test equipment, instrumentation, radar (automotive and military) and communications infrastructure.
"At 26,5 GHz we cover the entire K Band for communications and instrumentation products," said Ray Burgess, TeraVicta's president and CEO. "In addition, we deliver the bandwidth necessary to accurately test the new wave of high speed interconnect protocols such as SRIO, PCI-Express and 10 Gb Ethernet that are being incorporated into many new processors, DSPs, FPGAs, and DIMM memory subsystems."
