| Abstract:Based on the two-stage power amplifier architecture, a high gain Doherty power amplifier with an average
output power of 37 dBm (5 W) is designed in this paper. The high gain Doherty power amplifier improves the gain of Doherty
power amplifier by adding the front driving power amplifier. The architecture of Inverted Doherty Power Amplifier
(IDPA) is adopted to widen the working bandwidth of the traditional Doherty power amplifier. The results of continuous
wave test show that the saturated output power and power added efficiency (PAE) of the designed amplifier in this paper
are above 44. 5 dBm and 43. 9% respectively at the saturation output power operating point in the 3. 4-3. 6 GHz working frequency
band. At the average output power (37 dBm, 5 W) operating point, the backoff of the designed amplifier in this paper
is more than 7. 5 dB, the additional power efficiency (PAE) is more than 36. 8%, and the power gain is more than 31 dB. |
