Abstract

Wide I/O poses serious challenges due to the requisite high density of electronics and relays near the DUT, as well as high bandwidth. A 2×2mm MEMS switch has been demonstrated, offering >80% footprint reduction relative to a typical TO-can electromagnetic relay. A further benefit of its small size, the MEMS relay is able to operate up to Ka-band (40 GHz) with hot switch capability and repeatability of
