University of Bristol Students Win 2016 IMS High-Efficiency PA Design Competition Using NI AWR Software

EL SEGUNDO, CA, May 22, 2017 -- University of Bristol, UK engineering students Paolo Enrico de Falco, James Birchall and Laurence Smith, under the supervision of Dr. Souheil Ben Smida, won the 2016 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) high-efficiency power amplifier (PA) student design contest using NI AWR Design Environment to design a single-ended RF PA. The main challenge of the competition was to maximize the overall power-added efficiency (PAE) of the PA while amplifying a time-varying envelope signal, without compromising the linearity performance.

“Access to the complete high-frequency suite of tools in NI AWR Design Environment combined with the usability of the software enabled my students to successfully overcome the challenges of maximizing PA efficiency to win this prestigious design competition,” said Dr. Souheil Ben Smida, lecturer in the Electronic and Electrical Engineering Department at University of Bristol.
