The 2020 International Microwave Symposium (IMS), this year, will be held in Los Angeles, California from 21 to 26 June. This year, one of the projects in the Student Design Competition is to design a ‘Linear High Power Amplifier (HPA)’. The competition will be sponsored by Maury Microwave and co-sponsored by Wolfspeed, who will provide the sample transistors required for the competition.
The objective of this SDC is to design a highly efficient high power amplifier (HPA) by using either the behavioral model or measured data of the RF power transistor. The participants will receive the measured data and model after the registration by e-mail. The students are free to use only measured data for the design. The winner HPA will be the one revealing the highest average efficiency with the modulated signal.
