RF-MEMS, i.e. microelectromechanical-systems for radio frequency passives, have been around for about two decades. Across a remarkable haul of 20 years, looking at RF-MEMS from the market perspective, disappointments seem to overweight success cases. Nevertheless, full deployment of such a technology has still to come, and future mobile (5G) standards might be the perfect ground for such a potential to manifest. The target of this short article is to trace the current state of RF-MEMS market and to build some considerations on future scenarios, based upon the legacy trail of ups and downs.

Abstract

RF-MEMS, i.e. microelectromechanical-systems for radio frequency passives, have been around for about two decades. Across a remarkable haul of 20 years, looking at RF-MEMS from the market perspective, disappointments seem to overweight success cases. Nevertheless, full deployment of such a technology has still to come, and future mobile (5G) standards might be the perfect ground for such a potential to manifest. The target of this short article is to trace the current state of RF-MEMS market and to build some considerations on future scenarios, based upon the legacy trail of ups and downs.
