The Microwave Systems Area includes the design and fabrication of microwave and millimeter wave circuits up to 75 GHz in microstrip and coplanar (CPW) technologies, and applications of ohmic-contact and capacitive-contact RF-MEMS microswitches to reconfigurable devices. The circuits and devices are designed using electromagnetic, multimodal and mechanical modeling techniques and they are measured applying on-wafer techniques.
Main topics:
- Development of RF-MEMS switches and reconfigurable RF-MEMS circuits
- Hybrid/Integrated Circuits and Systems for Microwave/mm-wave Communications (1-75 GHz)
- Measurement & Modeling Techniques (10 MHz – 75 GHz)
In-house Technical Facilities:
- On-wafer S-parameters & noise parameters measurement techniques facilities.
- Vacuum chamber
- Fabrication facilities
- RF instrumentation up to 75 GHz.
