Microelectromechanical microwave systems are the product of integrated circuit technology, mechanical engineering, materials science, and microwave communications. This completely updated, second edition of an Artech House bestseller brings together all the principles, techniques, methods, and theories from these different fields to provide you with a full, all-encompassing introduction to microelectromechanical microwave systems. The second edition covers the latest in fabrication technologies, actuation mechanisms, packaging, switching, resonator design, and microwave and wireless applications. It explains how RF MEMS can reduce overall systems size, weight, and cost and how to determine which applications can benefit most from RF MEMS technology. This practical book steers you past the drawbacks and towards the benefits of integrating RF/microwave MEMS into communications equipment. It also enables you to create devices and techniques that can improve the performance of communications circuits and systems.
