The Impact of MEMS-based RF Multiplexers for Next-Generation Test Systems

Menlo Micro - Pickering Interfaces Webinar

Overview:

Pickering Interfaces and Menlo Microsystems joined forces to bring to market a series of ground-breaking RF Multiplexer products recently – the first to incorporate the unique MEMS Ideal Switch technology.

Steven Edwards, Switching Product Manager at Pickering Interfaces and Stewart Yang, Sr. RF Systems Applications Engineer at Menlo Microsystems discussed the long-term collaboration to innovate next-generation microwave switch design, addressing some of the key limitations and tradeoffs between performance, reliability, form factor, and overall cost of test.

Topics covered in this webinar:

• Performance benefits and key use cases for both RF microwave and power control systems.Introduction to Menlo Micro’s MEMS Ideal Switch technology.
• The unique performance characteristics of the Pickering 40/42-878 family of Ideal Switch-based RF multiplexer cards, and their impact on test efficiency.
• Comparisons to other RF multiplexer technologies such as solid-state and electromechanical.
• Future directions for Pickering switching product line & Menlo's Ideal Switch.
