Beschreibung (Langtext)

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) refer to a collection of micro-sensors and actuators, which can react to environmental change under micro- circuit control. The integration of MEMS into traditional Radio Frequency (RF) circuits has resulted in systems with superior performance levels and lower manufacturing costs. The incorporation of MEMS based fabrication technologies into micro and millimeter wave systems offers viable routes to ICs with MEMS actuators, antennas, switches and transmission lines. The resultant systems operate with an increased bandwidth and increased radiation efficiency and have considerable scope for implementation within the expanding area of wireless personal communication devices. This text provides leading edge coverage of this increasingly important area and highlights the overlapping information requirements of the RF and MEMS research and development communities. Provides an introduction to micromachining techniques and their usein the fabrication of micro switches, capacitors and inductors Includes coverage of MEMS devices for wireless and Bluetooth enabled systemsEssential reading for RF Circuit design practitioners and researchers requiring an introduction to MEMS technologies, as well as practitioners and researchers in MEMS and silicon technology requiring an introduction to RF circuit design.
Unter mikroelektromechanischen Systemen (MEMS) versteht man Anordnungen von Sensoren und Aktuatoren, die durch Mikroschaltkreise gesteuert werden und auf Änderungen der Umgebungsbedingungen reagieren können. Die Integration von MEMS in traditionelle Hochfrequenzschaltkreise führte zu flexiblen, hochleistungsfähigen, dabei aber preiswerten Systemen. Diesem ausgesprochen interdisziplinär angelegten Buch entnehmen Sie die aktuellsten Erkenntnisse auf diesem zunehmend wichtigen Gebiet. Besprochen werden auch Anwendungen von MEMS in drahtlosen und Bluetooth-fähigen Systemen.
