New Materials and Devices Enabling 5g Applications and Beyond

New Materials and Devices for 5G Applications and Beyond focuses on the materials, device architectures, and enabling integration schemes for 5G applications and emerging technologies. The book gives a comprehensive overview of the tradeoffs, challenges, and unique properties of novel upcoming technologies. Starting from the application side and its requirements, the book examines different technologies under consideration for different functions, both conventional and more exploratory, and within this context the book provides guidance to the reader on how to possibly optimize the system for a particular application. This book aims at guiding the reader through the technologies required to enable 5G applications, with the main focus on mm-wave frequencies, up to THz. It is suitable for industrial researchers and development engineers, and researchers in materials science, device engineering, and circuit design.
