Abstract

La présente invention concerne plusieurs procédés et architectures fondés sur des systèmes microélectromécaniques (MEMS) dans lesquels on utilise des résonateurs micromécaniques vibrants dans des circuits pour effectuer des fonctions de filtrage, de mélange, de référence de fréquence et d'amplification. Un appareil est prévu pour sélectionner au moins une bande passante ou une voie désirée dans un sous-système d'émetteur de fréquence radioélectrique utilisant un groupe de dispositifs micromécaniques vibrants. Un des avantages principaux résultant de l'utilisation de telles architectures est lié à une diminution de la consommation d'énergie qui entraîne une sélectivité élevée (c'est-à-dire un facteur de qualité (Q) élevé). Par conséquent, la présente invention repose sur l'utilisation d'un grand nombre de liaisons micromécaniques dans des réseaux SSI pour assurer des fonctions de traitement du signal avec une consommation de puissance CC pratiquement nulle.
