Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

The field of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) has made great advances over the last thirty years. The commercialization of MEMS from international research laboratories into everyday products is an example of successful translational research originating from engineering science and technology.

In order to add new knowledge to the field from a different perspective, the book addresses the advances that have been made in wireless systems and applications that incorporate MEMS to achieve particular functions. The editor and chapter authors look at the latest trends in radio frequency MEMS (RF MEMS) devices and components and examined systems in which other types of MEMS devices, such as MEMS microsensors have been incorporated and where portability and mobility using wireless technology are the key requirements. It is on this basis that this volume differs from other books.

"Handbook of MEMS for wireless and mobile applications" is divided into two sections. Part one, comprising of ten chapters, deals with RF MEMS as an enabling technology and covers the latest trends in fabrication and technology including wafer-level packaging, reliability, and RF antennas. Part two, focuses on applications involving a diverse range of portable, wireless, and mobile systems incorporating all types of MEMS. The eight chapters in this section cover energy harvesting for powering wireless systems, implantable biomedical microsystems (for ocular and drug delivery applications), and combining wireless technology and MEMS from a historical and present day perspective.
