Cadence Design Systems, a pivotal leader in electronic design conducted the seventh annual RF/Microwave Power Amplifier (PA) Forum, part of the global AWR Design Forum (ADF) event, that took place last year mid-week during the European Microwave Conference (EuMW) in Paris. They have now released videos from the event where eminent speakers from around the world were present.
The collection is organized into five tracks addressing various aspects of circuit and communications/radar system design and highlights presentations from key industry experts Dr. Steve Cripps, Cardiff University, Dr. Zoya Popovic, University of Colorado and Dan Swanson, DGS Associates, Dr. Dominic FitzPatrick, Ametek-CTS, as well as prominent companies such as Wolfspeed, Arralis, UMS, AMCAD, OMMIC, and Focus Microwaves.
