Introduction to Integrated Passive Device Technology. This item is unavailable.Introduction to Integrated Passive Device Technology

This book provides a practical introduction of integrated passive device (IPD) technology for both undergraduate and graduate students of electronic engineering, electrical engineering, practicing engineers, communication engineering, and other interested students and researchers. There is no need to justify the existence of IPDs; they are the essential building blocks of mobile and wireless communication systems. IPDs play an important role in the front-end RF sections of mobile phones, and have been developed to meet the ever increasing needs of size and cost reduction in microwave applications. The purpose of this book is to provide a practical overview of this integrated passive technology, potential applications, motivations, and the problems associated with IPDs, and to learn the practical design and fabrication methods of IPDs.

Prof. Nam-Young Kim was born in Seoul, Korea. He received two Masters and two Ph.D. degrees from State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo and Midwest University, U.S.A.; the M.S. and the Ph.D. in Electronic Engineering, SUNY at Buffalo in 1991 and 1994. He also received M. Div. and D. Div. degrees in Midwest University in 2004 and 2006.
