Vpelt and others that may be interested. You have touched on one of my favorite topics MEMS. My interest lies on how it can and will be used in future radio communication. DARPA is the main funding Gov agency for research into MEMS projects. Their home page is web-ext2.darpa.mil from here I would suggest going to "project summaries" and selecting "current efforts" at web-ext2.darpa.mil The following sites can be called up from the location and a feel for what is going on with MEMS in the areas of communications can be obtained. Nanometer Scale Electromechanical Resonators for RF Signal Processing Applications California Institute of Technology Submicron Scale MEMS for Ultralow Power VHF/UHF Applications California Institute of Technology Ultra-High-Density Data Cache for Low-Power Communications Carnegie Mellon University Micromachined RF Switches and Tunable Capacitors for Higher Performance Secure Communications Systems Rockwell International Low Power Wireless Integrated Microsensors (LWIM) University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA) MEMS for Wireless Communications University of Michigan As you can see the majority of the worked is being done by universities. How long before it moves into the real world is any bodies guess, but I figure some of you out there can answer that question can't you! With respect to Cellular and other forms of RF communication MEMS may be the way to finally achieve a "TOTAL" radio on one piece of silicon. A little research into what MEMS really is and what it can do will boggle the mind as to the future of this technology. Have fun researching this, because it will be a significant part of the future.
