DESCRIPTION:When Radio Frequency Microelectromechanical System (RF MEMS) ba
 sed switches\nappeared more than 30 years ago\, micromechanics has attract
 ed huge attention for\nenabling near-ideal microwave devices. Since then\,
  MEMS switches and MEMS-switch\nbased devices and circuits went through di
 fferent development stages and are currently\nproving themselves commercia
 lly. But micromachining can do much more than &amp;quot\;just&amp;quot\;\nMEMS swi
 tches for planar transmission-line technology.\nThis talk gives an overvie
 w of micromachining capability and examples of innovative\nmicrowave devic
 es enabled by this technique\, developed and extensively characterized\nov
 er microwave to THz regime. It includes most of the passive circuits in tr
 ansceiver like\nswitching networks\, phase shifter\, filters\, and antenna
 . Then\, the state-of-the-art of\nmicromachined waveguide system enable op
 eration over sub-millimetre range including\nW-band phase shifters\, tunea
 ble capacitors and couplers. Finally\, the potential of\nMEMS based tuneab
 le meta-surfaces is outlined as one of the key solutions for THz\napplicat
 ions.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Sukomal  Dey\, \n\nBldg: Sir J C Bose Hall\, 6th
