Workshop Background:

This is the IWPC’s 7th Base Station Power Amplifier Device and Sub-System Workshop. These workshops have explored the state of RF Power Amplifier technology and addressed the important topics that need to be discussed within the different levels Supply Chain.

Workshop Goals:

The Goal of this workshop is to gather all members of the supply chain that represent the RF Power Amplifiers – R&D, semiconductor device design, circuit implementation, BTS OEMS for Macro, Micro, Pico and Femto Cells, operators, installation and maintenance.

1. To understand the state of the art of PA technology.
2. To clearly identify what can be done to reduce Operator OPEX & CAPEX.
