Region 1

Sail to Alaska with IEEE-USA! IEEE-USA's cruising saga continues in 2024 to the magnificent, wild Alaskan frontier. Building off of the success of IEEE-USA’s 50th Anniversary Cruise, IEEE-USA will be hosting a 7-night Alaska Cruise 9-16 September 2024. We’ll be cruising in style aboard Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas from Seattle to stops in Sitka, Skagway, Juneau, and Victoria, BC, before concluding our cruise back in Seattle. Please remember that to participate in the IEEE-USA Alaska Cruise activities, you must book through the (https://cruise.ieeeusa.org).

To overcome the ever-increasing design challenges of radio front end for wireless communications, extensive research efforts have been devoted to advance the RF transmitters in recent years at both industry and academia. This talk provides an introduction on the innovations leading to more advanced digital and intelligent RF transmitters. First, an overview and the technical challenges on designing and implementation of All-digital transmitter will be introduced covering both hardware and software aspects, including active devices, switching-mode PA operation, efficient and spurious-free power encoding of signals. Then advanced techniques with demonstrators of All-digital transmitter and All-digital phased array will be showcased. In addition, Machine learning and AI techniques applied to enhance the agility and performance (i.e. operating bandwidth, efficiency, linearity) of (digital) radio transmitter will be highlighted. Perspectives on the future directions of radio transmitter towards a greener and smarter wireless communication will be shared at the end.
