Opis

Drawn from the comprehensive and well-reviewed Silicon Heterostructure Handbook, this volume covers SiGe applications in the real world. It presents a broad overview of the merits of SiGe for emerging wireless communication systems and new techniques for improved LNA design. The chapters give readers a comprehensive view of linearization techniques in devices and circuits and the RF to millimeter design space. The discussion spans the RF to the millimeter wave IC space, and includes wireless radio architecture, MEMS processing, and robust packaging techniques. The last three chapters provide a glimpse of the future as envisioned by several industry leaders.
