This technical session explores the evolving demands of next-generation communication, radar, imaging, and SATCOM applications. The session will address the challenges for achieving high output power, efficiency, linearity, bandwidth, and robust performance. The first paper presents a 10–40GHz stacked push-pull PA that enhances both bandwidth and linearity through the harmonic superposition of drain-source waveforms. The second paper focuses on a V-band PA featuring a dual-mode slotline-based series-parallel combiner. The third paper introduces a D-band Doherty PA incorporating a Guanella transformer and adaptive bias. The fourth paper presents a process robust K-band balanced PA with a current-mode adaptive bias circuit. The final paper demonstrates a 5G phased-array TX with load compensating Doherty PA.
