The electromechanical relay hasn’t experienced any significant innovation in the past 50+ years. As a result, the size, weight, cost, and performance of systems that use traditional relays has suffered due to serious limitations. Menlo Micro has lifted these limitations by developing unique materials, designs, and processing techniques to create the Ideal Switch. The Ideal Switch operates up to 1000x faster than a typical mechanical relay, can handle kilowatts of power and is built in a structure smaller than a human hair.
Menlo Microsystems says its latest single-pole/four-throw (SP4T) switches have the industry’s highest performance, reliability, and integration for RF switching apps, 5G network...
The technology employed in Menlo Micro's high-power MM9200 SMT Ideal Switch will be part of a reduced SWaP hybrid circuit-breaker design meant for high-speed power distribution...
Menlo Micro's MM5600 switch outperforms electromechanical relays and solid-state switches; brings 99% power reduction and greater than 90% size reduction.
The MM5130, with 4 channels, 25-W power handling, and DC-to-26-GHz operation in a tiny SMT package, brings major improvements to insertion loss, power handling, and linearity....
When it’s time to railroad, you lay rail, and so the industry must adapt. That’s why the International Microwave Symposium, the largest gathering of RF and microwave professionals...
The RF/microwave industry was generally optimistic at the exhibition in anticipation of real opportunities for mmWave products in automotive and 5G markets.
MEMS technology is impressive, but fabricating the components on glass substrates provides high performance in a fraction of the size of conventional RF components.
DMS technology uses proprietary metal alloys fabricated on glass substrates to achieve broadband microwave switches capable of high power-handling capabilities.
“We’ve engaged with virtually everybody in the smartphone market," said an executive at Cavendish Kinetics, a maker of RF MEMS antenna tuners and switches.
