“…This makes them especially suitable as components for agile/phased array frontend technology such as low-loss and reconfigurable matching networks for tuneable (multi-band) LNAs for pointto-point wireless communication systems like radio links operating in the 5-40 GHz frequency range, and low-loss phase shifters for frontend architectures employing electronic beam steering (see also Fig. 1) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

This article describes the progress made during the first project year of the FP7 EU-project MEMS-4-MMIC that focuses on the merging of innovative RF-MEMS switch designs with established MMIC-technology. The ultimate goal is to include RF-MEMS switches into a standard commercial foundry process. Such switches will then become standard building blocks for MMIC circuits such as transistors, resistors and capacitors. Besides the development and qualification of the MEMS-MMIC designs and processes, MEMS-MMIC components are designed for specific applications (phased arrays, switch beam networks, etc.) that will benefit from this type of building blocks. First prototypes of latter components have been realized and measured in the first year of the project, and are presented in this paper.
