Overcoming Efficiency and Linearity Challenges in 6G RF Power Amplifiers Dr. Anding Zhu, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University College Dublin, Ireland Abstract: Radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PAs) are fundamental components in nearly all wireless transmitters, from tiny sensors and mobile phones to high-power base stations. Their primary function is to boost RF signals by converting DC power into amplified radio waves, ensuring reliable transmission over distances. As 6G aims to enable transformative applications such as ultra-high-speed communication, massive IoT, and immersive experiences, PAs must address challenges in energy efficiency, broadband operation, and linearity under high peak-to-average power ratios and dynamic traffic. This talk explores the critical obstacles and emerging solutions in 6G PA development, including advanced architectures, novel materials like Gallium Nitride (GaN) MMICs, new frequency bands (e.g., FR3), and AI-driven optimization techniques. It also highlights innovations in linearity enhancement, system integration, and system-level co-design. By bridging theoretical insights and practical applications, this talk provides guidance for researchers and engineers working to meet the stringent requirements of 6G, paving the way for a more connected and efficient wireless future. Biography Professor Anding Zhu received his Ph.D. in Electronic Engineering from University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland, in 2004. He is currently a Full Professor with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at UCD. His research focuses on high-frequency nonlinear system modelling, device characterization, and high-efficiency power amplifier design. He has authored over 200 peer-reviewed publications. Prof. Zhu is an IEEE Fellow and has held several leadership roles in the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S), including Secretary of the Administrative Committee (AdCom) in 2018, Chair of the Budget Committee, and Track Editor for IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques (2020–2022). He received the 2021 IEEE MTT-S Microwave Prize and is currently the IEEE MTT-S President-Elect, slated to serve as President in 2026.

With the advent of smart products, we are surrounded by wireless devices communicating via different technologies, like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LTE, 5G, etc. When designing such products, it is important to test their performance inside different indoor and outdoor environments, for both coverage and interference. WinProp offers highly accurate and fast propagation models for almost every standard technology. This presentation will give an overview of WinProp capabilities for wireless network coverage analysis, with live demonstrations. Speaker(s): Gopinath Gampala , Dr. C.J.
