INTEGRATED PASSIVECOMPONENT TECHNOLOGY
Edited by Richard K. Ulrich and LeonardW. Schaper, Wiley-IEEE Press, 2003.
The book offers a comprehensive lookat the reasons and current challengesand process and modeling to integratepassive devices into board or IC. Thebook also touches on test chips and test-ing for device measurement. At first itseems that this book only covers integra-tion of passive devices into board; how-ever, many methods and modeling issuesrelated to IC are covered.
Detailed explanations of fabrication/material parameters and their geometri-cal impact to the making of particularpassive devices are shown. For example,one chapter covers dielectric material forcapacitors, another chapter covers geo-metrical impacts to capacitors, anotherchapter covers different processes in mak-ing/integrating capacitors, and anotherchapter covers defect/yield. Modeling forthe passive devices is also explained. Themodeling itself is fairly complicateddepending on the material and the config-uration/layout. The book also provides theextraction parameters for the device.
Besides fabrication and modeling, thebook explains the electrical performanceof passive devices well. The resonancefrequency of the device is explained. Fab-rication/process parameters impact tothe electrical performance is explained.Tricking the process parameter to targetparticular electrical performance isdescribed. This may be the strongest part
of the book. Electrical performance ofthe passive device is explained elsewhere,but this book relates the process parame-ter into electrical performance.
The book is suitable for the practic-ing engineer. It uses just the right doseof the math to explain the physics andtheory behind the technology.
FREQUENCY SELECTIVESURFACES: THEORY AND DESIGNBy Ben A. Munk, Wiley Interscience, 2000.
This book provides a comprehensivetheory for the analysis and design of fre-quency selective surfaces (FSSs). It con-tains unique material not found in anyother publications on the same subject. Itcovers a complete theory of periodic sur-faces, multilayered FSSs, bandpass andbandstop filters design and their practicalapplication, circuit analog absorbers, aswell as power handling of periodic surfaces.
The first two chapters provide the read-er with an introduction to periodic sur-faces. Chapter 1 contains the definition,the history, and the application of periodicsurfaces, as well as the basic ideas that areused to develop the theory and design tofollow. The discussion and comparison ofthe element types that are most commonlyused for FSSs are presented in Chapter 2.The importance of this chapter is to pro-vide an understanding of the performanceof elements based on element shapes, arraygrids, and current modes on the elements.
The next four chapters cover the theo-retical development for analyzing the peri-odic structures, beginning with anoverview of the analysis approach, which isa mixture of the mutual impedance andthe plane wave expansion approaches(Chapter 3). The author explains themutual impedance concept for the periodicstructure well. The development of thespectral expansion of one- and two-dimen-sional periodic structures is then given inChapter 4, along with its physical interpre-
tation and physical insight. The concept ofself-impedance of a single element and anarray is discussed, concluding with theextension to the planar elements of arbi-trary shape. The modifications of the theo-ry in Chapter 4 to analyze the dipole arraysand slot arrays in a stratified medium arepresented in Chapters 5 and 6, respectively.The developments gradually proceed fromone boundary to two boundaries and thento general stratified medium. The discus-sions on the free and forced surface waves,as well as the onset of trapped and free-space grating lobes, are very useful.
The design aspects are presented inChapters 7 and 8. These two chaptersalone are valuable. Chapter 7 discusses thedesign procedure for the hybrid radome orthe bandpass filter, while Chapter 8 con-tains the design of band-stop and Dichroicfilters. The book takes a slight turn inChapter 9 to discuss FSSs made fromlossy elements including the Salisburyscreen, the Jaumann absorber, and thecircuit analog absorber. The design issueof the power handling of periodic surfacesis then presented in Chapter 10. Approxi-mate calculations of voltage breakdown ofwire and slot elements are provided. Thelast chapter of the book summarizes theimportant issues in the book and futuretrends of the periodic surfaces.
The book is well organized and worthreading. It is suitable for use as a textbookon FSSs, as well as for anyone working onperiodic surfaces, whether FSS radomes,phased arrays, absorbers, polarizers, ordichroic reflectors. The analysis anddesign concepts, as well as physicalinsight, presented in this book would pro-vide the reader a great benefit. The com-mon misconceptions on each subjectdiscussed by the author also make thisbook distinguished. Numerous practicalexamples, as well as the exercise problemsare found to be very helpful for under-standing the materials.
