As wireless communication systems are flourishing and operating frequencies are progressively increasing, there exists nowadays a strong demand for RF devices at millimeter wavelengths. Nonmetallic ferromagnetic materials, also called ferrites, have found wide applications in RF technology as they possess the combined properties of a magnetic material and an electrical insulator. The remarkable flexibility in tailoring the magnetic properties, the very high resistivity, price and performance considerations make ferrites the first choice materials for microwave applications. However, the frequency range of operation, the bandwidth, and the aptitude to be integrated in MMICs should be improved. In this work, a new class of magnetic materials which could overcome the main disadvantages encountered when using ferrites in RF devices operating at millimeter wavelengths is studied. This material, called magnetic nanowired substrate (MNWS), is composed of an array of ferromagnetic nanowires embedded in a polymer substrate. First, the ferromagnetic nature of nanowires yields very high saturation magnetizations, thus operating frequencies higher than 40 GHz. Next, the nanometric wire diameter allows an easy penetration of electromagnetic waves inside the MNWS. Moreover, due to the high aspect ratio of nanowires the desired magnetic properties are obtained without an external magnetic field. This leads to a considerable potential increase of the compactness and ease of integration in MMICs. Various potential applications, such as filters and circulators, of this new material are presented.

MEMS by becoming a part of various applications ranging from smartphones to automobiles has become an integral part of our everyday life. MEMS is building synergy between previously unrelated fields such as biology, microelectronics and communications, to improve the quality of human life. The sensors in MEMS gather information from the surrounding, which is then processed by the electronics for decision-making to control the environment. MEMS offers opportunities to miniaturize devices, integrate them with electronics and realize cost savings through batch fabrication. MEMS technology has enhanced many important applications in domains such as consumer electronics, biotechnology and communication and it holds great promise for continued contributions in the future. This book focuses on understanding the design, development and various applications of MEMS sensors.

In the past 30 years, magnetic research has been dominated by the question of how surfaces and interfaces influence the magnetic and transport properties of nanostructures, thin films and multilayers. The research has been particularly important in the magnetic recording industry where the giant magnetoresistance effect led to a new generation of storage devices including hand-held memories such as those found in the ipod. More recently, transfer of spin angular momentum across interfaces has opened a new field for high frequency applications.This book gives a comprehensive view of research at the forefront of these fields. The frontier is expanding through dynamic exchange between theory and experiment. Contributions have been chosen to reflect this, giving the reader a unified overview of the topic. - Addresses both theory and experiment that are vital for gaining an essential understanding of topics at the interface between magnetism and materials science - Chapters written by experts provide great insights into complex material - Discusses fundamental background material and state-of-the-art applications, serving as an indispensable guide for students and professionals at all levels of expertise - Stresses interdisciplinary aspects of the field, including physics, chemistry, nanocharacterization, and materials science - Combines basic materials with applications, thus widening the scope of the book and its readership

Circulator design has advanced significantly since the first edition of this book was published 25 years ago. The objective of this second edition is to present theory, information, and design procedures that will enable microwave engineers and technicians to design and build circulators successfully. This resource contains a discussion of the various units used in the circulator design computations, as well as covers the theory of operation. This book presents numerous applications, giving microwave engineers new ideas about how to solve problems using circulators. Design examples are provided, which demonstrate how to apply the information to real-world design tasks.
