nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The increasing demand for mobile and wireless sensing necessitates the use of highly integrated technology featuring small size, low weight, high performance and low cost: micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) can meet this need. The Handbook of MEMS for wireless and mobile applications provides a comprehensive overview of radio frequency (RF) MEMS technologies and explores the use of these technologies over a wide range of application areas.Part one provides an introduction to the use of RF MEMS as an enabling technology for wireless applications. Chapters review RF MEMS technology and applications as a whole before moving on to describe specific technologies for wireless applications including passive components, phase shifters and antennas. Packaging and reliability of RF MEMS is also discussed. Chapters in part two focus on wireless techniques and applications of wireless MEMS including biomedical applications, such as implantable MEMS, intraocular pressure sensors and wireless drug delivery. Further chapters highlight the use of RF MEMS for automotive radar, the monitoring of telecommunications reliability using wireless MEMS and the use of optical MEMS displays in portable electronics.With its distinguished editor and international team of expert authors, the Handbook of MEMS for wireless and mobile applications is a technical resource for MEMS manufacturers, the electronics industry, and scientists, engineers and academics working on MEMS and wireless systems.

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.
