The Industry Paper Competition (IPC) recognizes outstanding technical contributions from industry sources. All finalist papers are from the RF/microwave industry and describe innovation of a product or system application that potentially has the highest impact on an RF/microwave product and/or system which will significantly benefit the microwave community and society at large.
... and the winner is:
A Compact 60 W MMIC Amplifier Based on a Novel 3-Way 1:2:1 Doherty Architecture With Best-in-Class Efficiency for Small Cells (TU2G)
Xavier Moronval, Ampleon
