This book covers all aspects of MMIC design, layout, and fabrication. Steve Marsh has worked for many years developing MMIC circuits and is now sharing his knowledge and experiences by preparing this excellent book for the engineer. With technology advances, the electrical engineer must keep himself updated to the latest needs of the marketplace. At millimeter wave frequencies, with the small wavelengths, the MMIC circuit is the primary vehicle to realize practical integrated circuits. MMICs have replaced discrete designs, except for low volume specialty circuits, as well as very high power applications at RF and microwave frequencies. MMIC circuits show reduced size and cost with higher reliability to meet the needs of today’s markets.
Due to significant R&D funding, innovations, processing advancements and electronic circuit developments, the Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit (MMIC) has now become commonplace, replacing many discrete circuits with individual transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors and element interconnections.
