Press release – 26 February 2013

The trade show dedicated

to radiofrequencies, microwaves,

wireless and fibre optics.

2nd EDITION ¾ April 10 11, 2013 ¾ Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles ¾

FOCUS ON CONFERENCES: THE RF MEMS

PERSPECTIVES AND DEVELOPMENT
presented on the occasion of Microwave & RF 2013

Microwave & RF 2013 is the new professional event, highly qualitative and most importantly, with a high content of conferences: no less than 7 different cycles will be dedicated to the problems inherent in many fields concerning the work of visitors to the show: EMC, antenna technology, RF and optical, 4G Mobile Radio and RF Mems, etc.

Designed to operate in radio frequency communication circuits, RF Mems (Radiofrequency micro-electro-mechanical systems) are used in many sectors: aerospace and telecommunications, automobiles, health, and their applications now invade daily life, such as for example, HD television, car security equipment, video projectors, etc. and of course, antennas with the galloping development of mobile telephony.

Small and very efficient is the same thing as saying that the MEMS are not about to be replaced in RF systems: According to the firm IHS iSuppli, these components represent a market of more than $ 200 million in 2014.

The purpose of these conferences is to examine developments, prospects and future developments of a technology that has wind in its sails!
