ALL COURSE DATES FOR THE CATEGORY: RF & MW Design
007 Behavioral Modeling and Digital Predistortion of RF Power Amplifiers
008 Advanced RF Power Amplifier Techniques for Modern Wireless and Microwave Systems
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Date: April 13 - April 17, 2026
Duration: 5 days
Instructors: Professsor Dr. Steve C. Cripps, Dr. Jeff Powell and Dr. Roberto Quaglia
In any system, the power amplifier is a critical component. It is typically the most costly single item and consumes most of the supply power. Knowledge of the possibilities for trading power per unit cost with efficiency and linearity often forms the basis for the entire system architecture design. This 5-day course deals with the theory and design of RF Power Amplifiers for wireless, satcom, and microwave applications and features in-depth treatment of PA design, PA modes, envelope power management, and non-linear effects.
015 RF Design and Simulation of Wireless Systems
026 Essentials of Radio Communications Systems
The advent of 5G and the technology spin-offs along the way have re-invigorated developments in all radio systems. They have produced new levels of sophistication as well as RF ICs for complex functions which amalgamate analogue/digital circuit ideas as well as sophisticated signalling and protocol layers.
This comprehensive course, from an established expert and IEEE life fellow, gives a thorough view of all key elements of receivers and transmitters, from circuit blocks through the system level to network concepts.
