SSCS July Technical Webinar: Transistor Diversity: Looking Beyond CMOS to Improve Analog Performance, Presented by Viola Schäffer

Online

Abstract: While CMOS transistors came to dominate integrated circuits, some other transistor types such as the bipolar junction transistor (BJT); its variant, the super-beta BJT; the junction gate field-effect transistor (JFET) and laterally diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (LDMOS) continue to thrive in specific applications. The talk will re-visit the discovery of these transistor types, their […]

Webinars for Young Excellence: Essential Skills for a Thriving Research Career, Presented By: Stefano Stanzione

Online

Abstract: Young researchers are brilliant at what they do best: pushing the boundaries of knowledge with technical excellence and groundbreaking innovation. And that’s exactly how it should be! But here’s the catch: a successful research career isn’t just about the best experiments or the most cited papers. It’s also about navigating the human side of […]

SSCS June Technical Webinar: Over A Century of Electronic Power Amplifiers from D(oherty)PAs to D(igital)PAs, Presented By: Jeff Walling

Online

Abstract: The first vacuum tube amplifiers appeared circa 1912 and were used originally as audio amplifiers. Shortly thereafter they helped to popularize AM radio broadcasting. Generating sufficient broadcast power was difficult and electricity costs were high for operators, driving many key innovations to improve output power and efficiency, particularly when amplifying signals with large peak-to-average power […]
