DESCRIPTION:Event Title:\n\nSpecial Programme on Advanced Research and Know
 ledge (SPARK-II): Expert Talk on Design of Power Amplifier\n\nEvent Descri
 ption:\n\nIEEE MTT-S GGV Student Branch Chapter\, India\, is proud to pres
 ent the second installment of its flagship expert talk series\, SPARK-II. 
 After the successful commencement of SPARK-I\, this session aims to dive d
 eep into the technical complexities and modern methodologies of RF and Mic
 rowave engineering.\n\nIn this session\, we are honored to host Dr. Shubha
 nkar Majumdar\, a distinguished academician and Senior Member of IEEE. Dr.
  Majumdar will lead an intensive technical discussion on the Design of Pow
 er Amplifiers\, focusing on device-circuit co-design\, and the transition 
 from theoretical modeling to real-world hardware implementation and more.\
 n\nKey Highlights:\n\n- Fundamental Concepts: Introduction to Power Amplif
 ier (PA) classes and efficiency metrics.\n- Advanced Research: Insights in
 to GaN HEMT-based ultra-wideband PAs and 5G/6G applications.\n- Practical 
 Design: Understanding the matching networks and the role of EDA tools like
  ADS in the design flow.\n- Interactive Q&amp;A: A dedicated segment to addres
 s research queries and career guidance in RF Microelectronics.\n\nEvent De
