A tuner is a subsystem that converts radio frequency (RF) transmissions, such as FM broadcasting, into a fixed frequency that is suitable for further processing, typically because the output frequency is lower.
This intermediate frequency (IF) is typically fed directly into a demodulator by broadcast FM/AM transmissions. The demodulator then converts the radio signal into audio-frequency signals that can be fed into an amplifier to drive a loudspeaker.
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems, or MEMS, are devices of the micrometer size that combine electronic and mechanical moving parts. MEMS devices are those with the following characteristics:Size in micrometers.
The system’s electrical current flow and its mechanically movable internal components. MEMS devices are currently used in a variety of applications, including automobile GPS systems, mobile phones, laptops, and others.
In a similar vein, the kinds of MEMS devices can range from relatively straightforward structures with no moving parts to extremely intricate electromechanical systems with numerous moving parts controlled by integrated microelectronics.
The presence of at least some elements with mechanical functionality, regardless of whether these elements can move, is the primary criterion for MEMS.
Different regions of the world use different terms to describe MEMS.MEMS is the most common name for them in the United States, but they are also known as “micromachined devices” or “Microsystems Technology” in other parts of the world.
The Global MEMS tuners market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
Cavendish Kinetics and TowerJazz, the global leader in specialty foundries, announced that the recently launched CK301 RF MEMS tuner has passed the cycles test with no component failures.
Additionally, the components have passed select Mil-Std 883D and IEC tests in addition to standard JEDEC and SEMI qualifications.
TowerJazz has now released the CK301 RF MEMS tuner for mass production, combining Cavendish’s patented NanoMech MEMS technology with TowerJazz’s high voltage CMOS and custom radio frequency interconnect processing.
The innovative RF MEMS tuners that make up Cavendish’s first generation of MEMS products, such as the CK301, were created to address the issues with antenna performance that are present in today’s LTE smartphones, which must support an ever-increasing number of operating modes and frequency bands.
Additionally, smartphones’ antenna volume is further limited by ever-shrinking form factors, larger batteries, and larger displays.
