DESCRIPTION:The design of RF PAs is a well-researched subject. There is a s
 ignificant amount of contributions that range from active device manufactu
 ring and modelling to the optimisation of complete transmitter systems tha
 t require digital and analogue engineering skills.\n\nThis talk will cover
  the very fundamental principles of a simple PA design which are essential
  to understand to be able to perform research and innovate in this field. 
 Then\, some PA architectures that perform in an efficient manner will be d
 iscussed and the methodology to optimise them will be explained in a simpl
 ified way. Finally\, the talk will cover a couple linearisation techniques
  to compensate for PAs distortions and the challenges that an engineer/res
 earcher would face to tackle the problem.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Souheil Ben S
