This work aims to build inclusive vision of the Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Everything
(IoE), Tactile Internet and 5G, leveraging on MEMS technology, with focus on Energy …

To date, the rollout of 5G (5 th generation of mobile communications) has been ongoing for
more than two years, with most of it still to come. Meanwhile, Key-Performance Indicators …

Since its first discussions in literature during late '90s, RF-MEMS technology (ie Radio
Frequency MicroElectroMechanical-Systems) has been showing uncommon potential in the …

Abstract Microsystems for Radio Frequency (RF) passive elements, known as RF-MEMS,
have been attracting the attention of academic and industrial research since their first …

The main challenge in the commercialization of the RF-MEMS switches is their reliability,
related to both the electrical and mechanical domains. The development of test standards …

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switches are attractive for many applications
including radio frequency and microwave systems, logic devices, acceleration sensing and …

Commencing with a review of the characteristics of RF-MEMS in relation to 5G, the book
proceeds to develop practical insight concerning the design and development of RF-MEMS …

We propose an active mechanism to retrieve the functionality of RF-MEMS ohmic switches
after stiction occurs. The mechanism exploits a micro-heater, embedded within the switch …

In this work we discuss a novel design concept of energy harvester (EH), based on
Microsystem (MEMS) technology, meant to convert mechanical energy, available in the form …

Compared with conventional solid-state relays, micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS)
relays have the advantages of high isolation, low contact resistance, low power …
