Abstract: This talk presents an overview of current research in Prof. Popovic’s group, including the following topics: (1)Ìý high-efficiency linear transmitters and power amplifiers (PAs) for signals with high peak-to-average ratios and wide instantaneous bandwidths such as those on satellite phased array repeaters or concurrent 5G communications signals; (2) various microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits in GaAs and GaN for broadband analog radar and communication systems front ends; (3) microwave radiometry for internal body temperature measurements; and (4) wireless power transfer, from μW/cm2 power density harvesting to kW electric vehicle charging.Ìý Ìý
