11. Concluding Remarks
In this workshop, we had one tutorial talk about wireless local area network and four general talks about "pencil-and-paper exercise on analog circuits".
These four talks include a microwave guided theory and its applications to design of matching circuits, recent nonlinear high-efficency microwave power amplifier design, roles of Q factor in resonators and oscillators, and an analysis of diode circuits.
We had a fruitful discussion about the importance of "pencil-and-paper exercise".
