Professor Theodore Rappaport (New York University) introduces the "Waste Factor" (W) or "Waste Figure," a new figure of merit for power efficiency in circuits and systems. This metric, akin to the Noise Factor, addresses a critical gap by quantifying wasted power along any cascade. It's a vital Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for energy-efficient design, applicable from circuits to wireless networks and lossy channels. This webinar is organized by the ITU Journal on Future and Evolving Technologies (ITU J-FET), a free international journal, and moderated by Ian F. Akyildiz and Alessia Magliarditi.
