MEMS switch technology enables next-gen T&M equipment

ANALOG DEVICES RF-MEMS switch technology enables faster, smaller, lower power, more reliable instrumentation equipment by resolving multiple performance limitations commonly attributed to relays. OEMs can improve the accuracy and versatility of automatic test equipment (ATE) and other instrumentation tools, reducing customer’s testing costs, power and time to market. ADGM1304 and ADGM1004 RF MEMS switches are 95 percent smaller, 30 times faster, 10 times more reliable, and use 10 times less power than conventional electromechanical relays. http://www.analog.com
