Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recently, the RF signal used for IoT wireless communication and RF power transportation has reached to the millimeter wave band. The RF wave in such a band frequency easily decreases in the air. In order to compensate for it, phased-array antenna (PAA) are strongly attracted. However, an overall of the PAA's is complicated and this causes to a serious problem, such as large, heavy, and expensive. We have challenged to the PAA's which consists of MEMS switches. A fabricated PAA has successfully provided the beam scanning in the 24 GHz range. This is the first success of MEMS PAA in Japan.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

機械構造の微小化により従来では不可能であった機械の高速動作が可能である。今回、この優れた機械特性を高周波電気特性に融合化させようとする新しい研究であり、この分野は今後大きく発展することが期待できる。
また、この研究によって獲得した、優れた電気特性をもち、同時に高速動作する機械の実現は、現在の社会が強く望んでいるPAA等の情報通信技術において革新をもたらすものと期待される。
