MEMS electrostatic relay switches 25W across dc to 18GHz

  Menlo Micro has released another MEMS electro-mechanical relay, this time a single-pole four-throw (SP4T) dc-18GHz switch. MM5120 will handle 25W (150W pulsed), according to the company, though its 5.2 x 4.2mm LGA package. Insertion loss is typically <0.6dB at 12GHz. IP3 linearity is said to be >95dBm. Contact movement is though electrostatic attraction, with the necessary ...
