Abstract
This paper discusses recent developments in MEMS devices and Si-micromachined circuits. Specifically, the issue of poor isolation in individual MEMS switches is addressed in the context on creative designs that lead to the development of very-high isolation MEMS switch architectures operating in a very broad frequency range. Furthermore, Si-micromachined circuits appropriate for use in modern communications systems are described, and novel K- thru W-band 3D multi- layer architectures are presented.
