Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Part of the second edition of the best-selling RF and Microwave Handbook, this convenient and sharply focused guide examines the latest passive and active technologies that rely on RF and microwave technology. The growth of wireless technology over the past decade has been enormous, and this carefully edited book discusses the latest developments and technologies impacting the wireless field. Heavily updated chapters include new material on such technologies as MEMS, device packaging, surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters, bipolar junction and heterojunction transistors, and high mobility electron transistors (HMETs). The book also features a completely rewritten section on wide bandgap transistors.

Book News Annotation:

This handbook provides detailed information about a range of component technologies used in modern RF and microwave systems and components. Part of a set of three independent volumes, the handbook covers passive technologies, active device technologies, and materials properties. Unique microwave packaging and antenna considerations are also explored. Chapters are aimed at working engineers, managers, and academics who need to understand microwave topics outside their area of expertise. A microwave engineering appendix is included. This second edition of the handbook includes expanded and updated coverage of most topics, necessitating the third volume in the set. There is new material in this book on RFCMOS, Freznel zone plate antennas, and RFICs. The editor works in the microwave and semiconductor industries.

Synopsis:

In the high frequency world, the passive technologies required to realize RF and microwave functionality present distinctive challenges. SAW filters, dielectric resonators, MEMS, and waveguide do not have counterparts in the low frequency or digital environment. Even when conventional lumped components can be used in high frequency applications, their behavior does not resemble that observed at lower frequencies. RF and Microwave Passive and Active Technologies provides detailed information about a wide range of component technologies used in modern RF and microwave systems.
Updated chapters include new material on such technologies as MEMS, device packaging, surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters, bipolar junction and heterojunction transistors, and high mobility electron transistors (HMETs). The book also features a completely rewritten section on wide bandgap transistors.
