TS9183: High-Efficiency Power Amplifier Issues in the Real World

Speaker: Earl McCune (Principal, RF Communications) 

 

Explore with an IEEE MTT distinguished microwave lecturer the practical real-world issues that arise when combining analog power amplifiers and modern digital wireless signals. You must leverage circuit nonlinearity to achieve energy efficiency above 50 percent, so you have to treat a power amplifier as a nonlinear three-port device. Learn the benefits of different dynamic power supply transmitters, architectures, proposed design metrics, and LabVIEW-based test methodologies for these modern real-world devices.
