RF MEMS (eBook)

GABRIEL M. REBEIZ received his PhD from the California Institute of Technology. He was the recipient of the National Science Foundation Presidential Young Investigator Award, and in 2000 was the corecipient of the IEEE Microwave Prize. A Fellow of the IEEE and a consultant to Rockwell, Samsung, Intel, Standard MEMS, and Agilent, he has published extensively in the field of microwave technology and in the area of RF MEMS. He was at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and is now a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, San Diego.
