Overview of this Book:

Tunable RF’s time is here. This book serves as a snapshot of the state of the art in tunable RF circa 2015.
The book is written by leading practitioners in the field, and between writers, they comprise a majority of today’s commercial market share for tunable devices in mobile handset applications. The goal of the book is to provide a technical introduction to the field and to document the foundational work that has been done to date.
