NanoMEMS Research, LLC Presents Introduction to RF/Wireless MEMS Technology and Commercialization Date of Course:__3 October, 2006__________ Location: _____Irvine, CA_____________________________ Total Fee: $US495 Course Summary: Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) applications in RF and microwave electronics are on the verge of revolutionizing wireless communications. In this course we discuss the fundamentals of this exciting technology, potential pitfalls to be encountered, and typical applications where MEMS is expected to make the greatest impact in RF/microwave circuits and systems. In particular, the ability of MEMS’ fabrication techniques to enhance the performance of passive components, e.g., capacitors, inductors, transmission lines, and switches, is addressed, and a number of potential wireless system opportunities, namely, wireless transceivers, routing networks, and tracking antennas for mobile multimedia communications, awaiting the maturation of MEMS, are discussed. Who Should Attend? Students, engineers, designers, manufacturers, marketing and business development managers, and executives currently involved in the study, development, or manufacturing of wireless systems for both commercial and defense markets. Course Objectives: This course aims at getting interested parties informed on: •    Motivation behind RF/Wireless MEMS Technology •    The fundamentals Physics of RF MEMS Devices •    Fundamental applications of RF MEMS to Devices, Circuits and Systems •    Opportunities for RF MEMS Insertion and Commercialization Instructor(s):__Hector J.
