Includes bibliographical references and index.

Chapter 1. Introduction -- chapter 2. Overview of RF passives and enabling materials -- chapter 3. Novel flexible material liquid crystal polymer (LCP) based flexible passives -- chapter 4. Ferroelectric-based tunable RF capacitor -- chapter 5. High aspect ratio RF passives enabled by smart RF materials and polymer-core conductor micromachining technologies -- chapter 6. CNT-based passive circuits and detectable components -- chapter 7. Paper-based green RFID and other passives -- chapter 8. Flexible magnetic composites -- chapter 9. Composite right-/left-handed metamaterials and their RF applications -- chapter 10. Designing novel on-chip millimeter wave passives.

Moreover, this practical book offers expert guidance on how to apply these materials and techniques to design a wide range of cutting-edge RF passive components, from MEMS switch-based tunable passives and 3D passives, to metamaterial-based passives and on-chip passives. Supported with over 145 illustrations, this forward-looking resource summarizes the growing trend of smart RF passive component design and serves as a guide to the performance-improving and cost-down solutions this technology offers the next generation of wireless communications. --Book Jacket.
