DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nRF-MEMS passive components have been on the landsca
 pe of research for about three decades now. Despite the wide discussion of
  novel designs with unprecedented RF performance\, the actual potential of
  such a technology seems yet to display. At the same time\, market exploit
 ation of RF-MEMS is relatively recent and still needs to consolidate.\n\nT
 he aim of this webinar is to discuss RF-MEMS technology in a rather compre
 hensive way\, covering its inception\, ups and downs\, market penetration 
 and its potential against future communications paradigms.\n\nThe webinar 
 is arranged in four sections\, briefly described as follows:\n\n- History 
 of MEMS/RF-MEMS. Discussion of the inception and technology evolution of R
 F-MEMS\, intertwined with the advancement of MEMS solutions for sensors an
 d actuators.\n- RF-MEMS at FBK. Brief outlook of the research activities a
 nd RF-MEMS devices portfolio at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK)\, in Italy.
 \n- RF-MEMS vs. market. Critical discussion of the complex and time-consum
 ing path from research to the first market applications of MEMS-based RF p
 assives.\n- What’s next with 6G &amp; FN. Broadening the point of view\, bri
 ef discussion of the envisaged pivotal role of Micro &amp; Nanotechnologies (M
 EMS/NEMS) in the next paradigms of 6G and Future Networks (FN) and focus o
 n how RF-MEMS may contribute to such a challenge.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Jacop
