RF MEMS Circuit Design for Wireless Communications

Authors

Book Description

This is the first comprehensive book to address the design of RF MEMS-based circuits for use in high performance wireless systems. A groundbreaking research and reference tool, the book enables you to understand the realm of applications of RF MEMS technology; become knowledgeable of the wide variety and performance levels of RF MEMS devices; and partition the architecture of wireless systems to achieve greater levels of performance. This innovative resource also guides you through the design process of RF MEMS-based circuits, and establishes a practical knowledge base for the design of high-yield RF MEMS-based circuits.

Thebook features exercises and detailed case studies on working RF MEMS circuitsthat help you decide what approaches best fit your design constraints. Thisunified treatment of RF MEMS-based circuit technology opens up a new world ofsolutions for meeting the unique challenges of low power/portable wirelessproducts.
