Power amplifiers are often the most critical component of RF/microwave communications systems and consequently the focus of intense research to achieve increased linearity and power efficiency. New forms of power amplification are being developed to meet the needs of the wireless communication equipment industry and the world’s demand for greater information transmission. RWS 2011 will feature a special two-day archival session track on RF/microwave Power Amplifiers. Papers featuring innovative work are solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas of RF/microwave power amplifier technology:

* High Power/Wideband Active Devices
* Power Amplifiers for Mobile, Avionics and Space
* Modeling and Characterization
* Power Amplifier Technology
* Advanced Circuit Design and Topologies
* Green Power Amplifier Technology
* Integration Technology
* Packaging and Reliability
* Linearization and Efficiency Enhancement Techniques
* Applications, Novel Architectures and System Analysis
