    摘要: A microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) component 20 includes a portion 32 of a MEMS structure 30 formed on a semiconductor substrate 34 and a portion 36 of the structure 30 formed in a non-semiconductor substrate 22. The non-semiconductor substrate 22 is in fixed communication with the semiconductor substrate 34 with the portion 32 of the MEMS structure 30 being interposed between the substrates 34 and 22. A fabrication method 96 entails utilizing semiconductor thin-film processing techniques to form the portion 32 on the semiconductor substrate 34, and utilizing a lower cost processing technique to fabricate the portion 36 in the non-semiconductor substrate 22. The portions 32 and 36 are coupled to yield the MEMS structure 30, and the MEMS structure 30 can be attached to another substrate as needed for additional functionality.

    摘要: A MEMS capacitive device (90) includes a fixed capacitor plate (104) formed on a surface (102) of a substrate (100). A movable capacitor plate (114) is suspended above the fixed capacitor plate (104) by compliant members (116) anchored to the surface (102). A movable element (120) is positioned in spaced apart relationship from the movable capacitor plate (104) and has an actuator (130) formed thereon. Actuation of the actuator (130) causes abutment of a portion of the movable element (120) against a contact surface (136) of the movable plate (114). The abutment moves the movable plate (114) toward the fixed plate (104) to alter a capacitance (112) between the plates (104, 114). Another substrate (118) may be coupled to the substrate (100) such that a surface (126) of the substrate (118) faces the surface (102) of the substrate (100). The movable element (120) may be formed on the surface (126).

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided to enable a transceiver (200) or transmitter including a single PA line-up (210) to transmit signals having frequencies in two or more different frequency bands, and/or having two or more different modulation types, and/or having two or more different RF power levels. The single PA line-up includes at least one variable matching circuit (216) and a variable harmonic filter (240) to tune match and tune filter communication signals prior to transmission. The variable matching circuit and the variable harmonic filter each include at least one variable capacitive element (2160 and 2400) that switches ON/OFF depending on whether a low frequency signal or a high frequency signal is being transmitted. Each variable capacitive element includes separate direct current and radio frequency terminals to enable the single PA line-up to change signal modulation and/or RF power levels in addition to frequencies.
