The goal of this work is to provide an overview about the current development of radio-frequency microelectromechanical systems technology, with special attention towards those passive components bearing significant application potential in the currently developing 5G paradigm. Due to the required capabilities of such communication standard in terms of high data rates, extended allocated spectrum, use of massive MIMO (Multiple- Input-Multiple-Output) systems, beam steering and beam forming, the focus will be on devices like switches, phase shifters, attenuators, filters, and their packaging/integration. For each of the previous topics, several valuable contributions appeared in the last decade, underlining the improvements produced in the state of the art and the chance for RFMEMS technology to play a prominent role in the actual implementation of the 5G infrastructure.

“…Work has been published on low cost packaging solutions by using backside integration techniques [22], optimized packaging processes for minimal influence on the device performance [23], innovative liquid crystal polymer packaging [69], and wafer level Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) cap packaging techniques [70]. Novel packaging techniques are continually being sought after to help ensure the required functionality and dependability, while avoiding detrimental effects such as excessive damping and stiction [71], and equally important, minimizing the overall production costs.…”

Abstract:The development and application of magnetic technologies employing microfabricated magnetic structures for the production of switching components has generated enormous interest in the scientific and industrial communities over the last decade. Magnetic actuation offers many benefits when compared to other schemes for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), including the generation of forces that have higher magnitude and longer range. Magnetic actuation can be achieved using different excitation sources, which create challenges related to the integration with other technologies, such as CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), and the requirement to reduce power consumption. Novel designs and technologies are therefore sought to enable the use of magnetic switching architectures in integrated MEMS devices, without incurring excessive energy consumption. This article reviews the status of magnetic MEMS technology and presents devices recently developed by various research groups, with key focuses on integrability and effective power management, in addition to the ability to integrate the technology with other microelectronic fabrication processes.

“…Different types of phase shifters have been reported in the literature over last two decades [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] in narrowband or wideband. One of the major challenges of a wideband phase shifter is to track any frequency over a wide spectrum without compromising other performances like loss, matching, and phase error.…”
