MEMtronics Corporation is focused on the development and commercialization of RF MEMS technology for both military and commercial markets. Its focus is on developing microwave and millimeter-wave circuits and subsystems leveraged by RF MEMS technology. MEMtronicsÂ’ manufacturing partner is Innovative Micro Technology (IMT), a dedicated, high-end MEMS production facility.Utilization of an established foundry enables MEMtronics to offer the advantages of a stable, SPC-controlled manufacturing environment for development of products from engineering prototypes through moderate-scale production.Target markets for MEMtronics are communications (RF MEMS enabled electronically scanned antennas for satellite communications, steerable antennas for wireless LAN and ultra-wideband applications, tunable filters for communication systems), sensors (phase shifters and scanning antennas for both military and commercial radar), and imaging (critical array components for 2-D and 3-D imaging systems for homeland security, including airport security-baggage scanning and weapons detection). The basis for all of these product opportunities is low-cost, reliable, packaged RF MEMS switch technology for controlling, routing, and tuning RF signals.
