Characterization and Modeling of Power Amplifier Circuits and Transistor Technologies
Sunday August 19, 2001, 10:00
AM - 5:00 PM
Organizer: Gene Tkachenko,
Alpha Industries
The workshop will address
various aspects of characterization and modeling of discrete transistors
and ICs with the primary focus on power amplifiers for wireless communication
systems. The scope of the workshop will include large-signal transistor
measurements, extraction of various types of large-signal models, characterization
of power amplifier linearity and stability, as well as power amplifier
design considerations for 3G wireless systems.
