[Fourlanders] Load-Pull

[Tom McElroy]

EE Times hosted a webinar called:

> The Load-Pull Technique: Theory and Practical Application To RF Power
> Amplifier Design

Today the Load-Pull is, arguably, the most popular technique for
characterizing high-power transistors. The technique is used to characterize
transistors from the basic building block for technology evaluation to
transistors that produce powers exceeding a kilowatt in power at 100's of
MHz.

At first glance, it seems to focus on power amps that cost more than a new
car.
But the theory applies to all amplifier design, including those small-signal
preamps that we all enjoy!
