DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging evening with Dr. Michael Roberg as he e
 xplores the challenges and breakthroughs in high‑power MMIC power amplif
 ier design. Drawing on more than two decades of experience across defense\
 , commercial industry\, and academia\, Dr. Roberg will unpack the real‑w
 orld tradeoffs between GaN and GaAs technologies\, walk through the most w
 idely used MMIC PA topologies\, and highlight the subtle design pitfalls t
 hat often stand between failure and first‑pass success. Whether you&#39;re a
  practicing MMIC designer or simply curious about what modern microwave po
 wer amplifiers can achieve\, this talk offers a rare\, candid look into th
 e techniques\, traps\, and lessons learned from years of advanced PA devel
 opment.\n\nFree Parking at the Olive Garden Lot.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Michae
