This workshop offers a deep dive, how precise load pull measurements support the optimization of RF power amplifiers in the D-band, a frequency range gaining momentum with its growing range of applications. Our session will center around a latest multi-stage power amplifier design operating in D-band. We will explore the distinctions and applications of passive versus hybrid load pull techniques, highlighting their roles in advanced measurement scenarios. The performance verification of RF power amplifiers will include CW and extreme wideband modulated scenarios.
Collaborating with Friedrich Alexander Universität Germany, Focus Microwaves and MPI Corporation, we present a comprehensive view of D-Band measurement challenges and solutions, addressing the practical and theoretical aspects vital for advancing in this evolving technology sphere.
