This work presents the latest findings from military-sponsored academic research on wireless communications from a hardware design perspective, and offers specialized coverage of microwave technology with a focus on the low power wireless units required in modern wireless systems. It overviews wireless architecture and performance, and explores topics of materials, devices, circuits, modulation, and architectures. Specific topics include InP-based devices and circuits, flicker noise reduction in GaN field-effect transistors, characterization of amplifier nonlinearities and their effects on communications systems, microelectromechanical switches for RF applications, and planar-oriented passive components.
