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 practitioners to understand the realm of applications of RF MEMS technology, to recognize the wide variety and performance levels of RF MEMS devices, and to partition the architecture of wireless systems to achieve greater levels of performance.
This innovative resource guides engineers 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. The book features exercises and detailed case studies on working RF MEMS circuits that help professionals decide which approaches best fit their design constraints. This unified treatment of RF MEMS-based circuit technology opens up a new world of solutions for meeting the unique challenges of low-power/portable wireless products.
