Magnonics meets micro-electro-mechanical systems: a new paradigm for communication technology and radio-frequency signal processing
The EU-funded MandMEMS project proposes the development of a new generation of devices for radiofrequency communication and microwave signal processing. Researchers will combine the tuning capacity of magnonic systems (which use spin waves to process analogue and digital signals) with the speed of microelectromechanical systems in a single chip. The proposed chip technology will disrupt the wafer-scale production of different devices; it will bring spin-wave devices to a new level in terms of energy efficiency, agility, reconfigurability and carbon footprint.
