DelfMEMS, a leading developer of innovative RF MEMS switching solutions has succeeded in creating a contact or Ohmic switch (RF MEMS) which has superior performance over the traditional capacitive switch solutions used. This is a key milestone for the company who have already signed several contracts, with more in the pipeline, and anticipate shipping in the second half of 2016.
RF MEMS switches have been known for many years as outstanding potential solutions for mobile handset RF performance, but have so far failed to see any reasonable level of success either due to cost or reliability concerns. DelfMEMS seem to have solved these issues with their FreeFlexTM MEMS technology. This is a key milestone for the company. Their RF-MEMS switching solutions now meet the performance requirements for next generation of handsets (LTE-A and beyond), with ultra-low insertion loss, outstanding isolation and superior linearity to enable full uplink carrier aggregation.
The early samples of the SP12T switch will be shown at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2015 in Barcelona (2 to 5 March). The samples already have performance levels that are comparable to the current market leading solutions. The specifications and performance of the production devices are expected to be significantly better enabling the full potential of LTE-A and higher data rates to be achived.
