DESCRIPTION:The Huntsville\, AL Chapters of the IEEE Electromagnetic Compat
 ibility (EMC) Society and the Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT
 -S) invite you to participate in a Technical Meeting on March 26\, 2026\, 
 featuring a talk given by Dr. Ramon Beltran of Ophir RF Inc. The program w
 ill begin at 5:30 pm with Dennis Shipley of SMA Inc. sponsoring a free mea
 l. Mr. Beltran’s technical presentation will begin at approximately 6:20
  pm after some short chapter status updates.\n\nMeal – Taco Mama Taco an
 d Nacho Bar\n\nTwo meats with all the fresh fixings. Toppings and sides in
 clude lettuce\, tomatoes\, onions\, jalapenos\, cilantro lime rice\, black
  beans\, cheese\, tortillas\, chips\, sour cream\, salsa\, queso\, Cookies
 \, Sweet/Un-Sweet Tea\, and Water\n\nCo-sponsored by: Meal Sponsor: Dennis
  Shipley\, SMA Inc.\n\nSpeaker(s): Ramon Beltran\n\nAgenda: \n[][]“An In
 troduction to RF Power Amplifier Design: from Communications to EMC Testin
 g”\n\nSynopsis:\n\nIn this talk\, we are going to explore the basic prin
 ciples and engineering disciplines involved in the design and fabrication 
 of high-power RF amplifiers for various applications\, including wireless 
 communications\, electromagnetic pulses\, and electromagnetic compatibilit
 y (EMC) testing. The design process encompasses semiconductor device selec
 tion\, amplifier operating modes\, passive components\, and power combinin
 g. Furthermore\, we will present a fundamental understanding of RF enginee
 ring\, illustrating how a simple RF circuit could become a complex challen
 ge during an amplifier design process\, and how to overcome these practica
 l difficulties.\n\nRoom: IslandView\, Bldg: East Tower\, 965 Exploer Blvd
