The realization of the upcoming 5th Generation of telecommunication standards (5G) requires ultra-broadband transceiver frontends that satisfy both power efficiency and linearity requirements. Since power amplifiers (PAs) are the most power-consuming blocks in these frontends, they are optimized to achieve higher efficiency, and hence lower operating cost and carbon footprint. However, high efficiency PAs suffer […]

To pave the road towards the upcoming 5th Generation of telecommunication standards (5G), we aim to develop a fully integrated solution satisfying the increasing requirements in terms of wide bandwidth, small footprint, and high-power efficiency. Initially, we prepare a fully automated setup to characterize the Gallium Nitride (GaN) Power Amplifiers (PA) considered as key components […]
