Abstract

Tackling the challenges of emerging mm-wave wireless standards inevitably requires designers to reconsider techniques and implementations that were developed for RF and microwave systems. The trend towards adaptive PA systems has resulted in numerous techniques that allow systems to monitor their own performance at a given time and adjust certain parameters to maintain optimal performance.
