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.
