At the end of September, the Magnonics and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (M&MEMS) project members convened in Budapest to review and discuss the latest advancements in their collaborative research. The project brings together nine partners from academia and industry, combining a broad range of expertise in magnonics, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), materials science, and high-frequency electronics. High-frequency electronics is an essential component in most modern electronic devices, including mobile phones, radars, Wi-Fi, and mobile transmitters/receivers. The primary objective of the M&MEMS project is to develop the next generation of miniaturized microwave devices.

Pázmány Péter Catholic University plays a pivotal role in this endeavour. Our team contributes specialized knowledge in microwave and circuit-level design, which complements the fabrication work carried out by our partners.

During the Budapest meeting, project members showcased significant progress towards creating a demonstrator device. Pázmány researchers presented detailed calculations demonstrating that our devices exhibit minimal signal loss, making them competitive with state-of-the-art radio-frequency components. Notably, our simulations have shown a high degree of accuracy compared to experimental results. Additionally, the fabrication teams unveiled the first device successfully integrating MEMS with a magnonic system, enabling tunable microwave transmission.
