"MEMS: switch tops 26 GHz"

MEMS switch maker TeraVicta Technologies Inc. on Monday (March 5) will announce what it claims is the world's fastest MEMS switch at the Globalpress Electronics Summit. The 26.5-GHz, single-pole, double-throw switch measures 3.25 by 4.5 by 1.25 mm and is aimed at digital television, satellite communications and phased radar applications. The new MEMS switch is TeraVicta's second product, following its 7-GHz MEMS switch introduced last year, which targets automated test equipment (ATE) and RF wireless applications.
