RF MEMS Filter for high-speed data processing
NIBS (Nonlocal Inter-band Brillouin Scattering) is a Tunable Narrowband Microwave Filter that overcomes traditional MEMS filter challenges of limited tunability and resolution.
The global MEMS market is projected to grow to $25 billion in 2022, driven largely by growth in RF applications like RF MEMS filters.
NIBS allows new schemes for small form factor low phase noise microwave filtering:
- Single-sideband NIBS filter allows for tunability from 0.1->100 GHz
- Narrow bandwidths ~10 MHz
- High spur-free and linear dynamic range
- Potential for complete integration
