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
