Vol. 4/No. 2 and 3; p 5.

The "AMICOM" Network of excellence will be structured into the following three groups of activities:

1. Integrating RF-MEMS activities
2. Joint RF-MEMS Research activities
3. Activities to spread excellence in RF-MEMS

The network will aim to anticipate the research that will be required for the development of future communication systems. It is already apparent that new functionalities will be created through the use of Microsystems for RF and millimeter and wave communications. RF Microsystems will incorporate RF-MEMS components into RF and monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC). This will involve the research in diverse fields, such semiconductor technology, materials science, electromagnetic, mechanical, thermal and electrical modeling, testing and characterization, packaging, reliability and failure analysis.
