This book adopts the latest academic achievements of microwave and millimeter-wave chips based on thin-film integrated passive device technology as specific cases. Coherent processes of basic theories and design implementations of microwave and millimeter-wave chips are presented in detail. It forms a complete system from design theory, circuit simulation, full-wave electromagnetic simulation, and fabrication to measurement. Five representative microwave and millimeter-wave passive chips based on TFIPD technology are taken as examples to demonstrate the complete process from theory, design, simulation, fabrication, and measurement, which is comprehensive, systematical, and easy to learn and understand, convenient to operate, and close to the practical application.

This book is mainly aimed at the design and simulation of microwave and millimeter-wave chips based on thin-film integrated passive device technology. On the basis of specific cases, it introduces the whole process from theory, design, simulation, optimization, fabrication to measurement of the balanced filter, microstrip filter, absorptive filter, power divider, and balun.

With the arrival of the communication era of multi-frequency multi-mode microwave and millimeter-wave, both base station and mobile terminal sides bring new challenges to microwave and millimeter-wave devices in aspects of the low insertion loss, high suppression, miniaturized integration, and the low cost in batch. Therefore, the theoretical basis and application research of microwave and millimeter-wave devices and chips become one of the hot and difficult spots in the field of electronic science and technology.

Nowadays, there are many relevant courses and textbooks for students and engineers to learn about the design and simulation of microwave and millimeter-wave circuits and components based on the printed circuit board (PCB). By referring to them, beginners can master and get familiar with the basic principles and related theories of the core microwave and millimeter-wave circuits and components as well as the basic operations of relevant simulation software. During many years of teaching and research working, we found that many readers in electronic engineering major are confined to the design and implementation of the large-size PCB in radio frequency (RF) and microwave devices, while having little contact with the practical design and theoretical research of RF chips. At the same time, we also noticed that some readers have always thought that the procedure of RF chip design and implementation is very difficult and complicated, resulting in a fear of difficulties, which makes them flinch from the field of RF chips. Based on the years of studies and work experiences, we consider that providing beginners with a professional book, which is easy to learn and understand, convenient to get started, and close to the practical application, is a feasible method to solve the problems above. In addition, it is necessary for beginners to repeatedly imitate and ponder the design and simulation procedure of the representative passive chips, which is an essential process of the scientific research. However, some novices always expect their mentors to provide detailed guidance on this similar and repetitive procedure with specific time and efforts instead of doing it themselves, which is very laborious and inefficient. In view of the above realities, the authors have the initial motivation to write this book, hoping that beginners can eliminate their fear in the research field of RF devices and chips by learning this book.

This book is suitable for the professional technicians who are engaged in the design and engineering application of microwave and millimeter-wave device chips. It can also be used as the textbook of electronic science and technology, electromagnetic field and microwave technology, electronic engineering, radar engineering, integrated circuit, and other related majors in colleges and universities.
