RF microelectromechanical/nanoelectromechanical (MEMS/NEMS) devices, such as resonators and switches, are attractive to industry as they offer a means by which performance can be greatly improved for wireless applications while at the same time potentially reducing overall size and weight as well as manufacturing costs.micromechanical devicesmicromechanical resonatorsmicroswitchestelecommunicationMEMS devicesNEMS devicesRF microelectromechanical devicesRF nanoelectromechanical devicesRF systemscivilian communication systemsdiamondsmilitary communication systemsresonatorsswitchesAre diamonds a MEMS' best friend?Article
