Hello,
I’m a professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Quebec in Canada. On this channel, I present our latest research on both theoretical and applied electromagnetism. You’ll find detailed explanations of the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method, a powerful numerical technique for solving Maxwell’s equations in the time domain.
Additionally, I offer courses on digital communications, RF technologies, and electronics, some of which are in French. You can also explore videos created by our undergraduate students, showcasing their diverse projects in electronics and computer science.
I’ll be discussing various topics related to the theory of relativity, including its historical development, critiques, and alternative perspectives. Another playlist will delve into quantum phenomena that we’ve recently been able to replicate using classical electromagnetism.

Howdid you find those values?
can you give me the journal pdf reference the power divider above?
Informative, thanks prof
Very informative video.
Quite clear! Thank you professor!
Thank you for the great video. I was wondering if you could explain why the K factor increases as the frequency goes up? Also, when designing a PA (Power Amplifier) that operates at high frequencies (e.g., 28 GHz), does the K factor need to exceed 1 across the entire frequency range, or is it sufficient for it to exceed 1 only near the target frequency?
@@PADAKMON91 K factor and U factor should be checked for stability purposes, these parameters are function of S parameters, since the S21 reduces by increasing the frequency, and K is inversly proportional to S21, that is why by increasing the frequency K factor goes up. Yes can check the K factor at your desired frequency, and it would be enough.
@@profhalimboutayeb Thank you, Prof. Halim! Since this is my first time designing PA, I have some basic questions. I understand that the load pull simulation is done to find the maximum PAE or POWER impedance. After running the load pull simulation, I obtained the value of ZL (18+j19.4) on the left( 12:00 ). Is this the value that I conjugate and use for input matching( 14:32 )? Also, where can I find the impedance( 12:00 ) for output matching( 30:25 ) during the simulation?
@PADAKMON91 Yes, both input and output impedances are extracted from load pull simulation should be conjugated, in load pull simulation the impedance that is calculated in the left windows is used for load matching. For source matching impedance, there are two ways, first in the main schematic of load pull simulation you can set the source impedance and this is the impedance that can be used for source impedance. Or you can set another simulation as a source pull simulation like the one that you did for load-pull. In this case the cakculated parameters in left windows are for source impedance
Great explaining.
Wish me luck to win
Amazing video!
Is an antenna and filter the same ??
Filter and antenna are not the same. There are RF engineers specialized in RF filters, RF engineers specialized in antennas, and other ones specialized on active components (amplifiers, mixers, etc.). Antennas are used to transmit (radiate) electromagnetic waves through free space or to receive these electromagnetic waves. Antennas often work in a specific frequency band and thus they have filtering characteristics. However, filters are still required in RF systems because they can be designed to achieve certain filtering specifications that cannot be achieved with simple antennas.
@profhalimboutayeb Thank u sir
@@profhalimboutayeb sir is it possible to design a bandpass and a bandstop antenna??
I came through Linkdin for the scope, but I enjoyed the tutorial since I worked on single and double balanced down converter mixers, thanks for your efforts
Great video ❤
Thank you sir, great video
Have no clue what is in this video hope to understand one day😅
Did a great job of explaining. First time I’ve understood the topic so quickly.
Great video, thank you for the information
Nice summary of the mixer and ADS implementation of the simulation. I suggest improvements to provide a simple over view of the the single balance mixer - and hence the phase relationship required at the rat race - and shortening the sequence for entering the schematic - this will help the flow.

can u suggest an amplifier which we can use to design a 2 watt power amplifier
It depends on frequency you are going to work, but MW6S004NT11 from NXP is a wideband and 4 watt transistor is a good choise that can be tuned to have 2 watt at the output. CGH4006 from cree , or there are some other transistors from ampleon that based on your frequency can be chosen
