PROJECT TITLE :

A Technical Foundation for RF CMOS Power Amplifiers: Part 2: Power Amplifier Architectures

ABSTRACT:

The second half of the Feature Topic ???Satellite Communications and Networking: Emerging Techniques and New Applications,??? printed in this issue of IEEE Communications Magazine, presents the overflow from the primary part published in the March issue. In the primary half, the accent was on a renewed vision of satellite communications and networking that we tend to claim as ???Area 2.0??? [one] in order to mark a transparent discontinuity with the ???Space one.0??? era, begun in 1945 with A.C. Clarke???s article ???Additional Terrestrial Relays.??? The contributions revealed in the first part mainly focused on techniques that can characterize future satellite networking, like exploitation of upper frequency bands, cognitive spectrum utilization, delay- and disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs), software-outlined networking (SDN), and network virtualization. In the remaining part of the Feature Topic, we have a tendency to aim at shifting the stress to the application aspects without losing sight of technological investigation.
