Design of a post-matching asymmetric Doherty power amplifier for broadband applications
IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters, 2015•ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this letter, the design of a broadband asymmetric Doherty power amplifier (ADPA) with an
800 MHz (41% fractional) bandwidth is presented. The post-matching structure and low-
order impedance transformation networks (ITN) are employed to achieve the broadband
performance. Meanwhile, different drain biases on the main and peaking devices are used
to run the asymmetric operation. The proposed ADPA shows high-efficiency performance at
8–9 dB output power back-off (OBO) throughout the whole 800 MHz band. The ADPA has …

In this letter, the design of a broadband asymmetric Doherty power amplifier (ADPA) with an 800 MHz (41% fractional) bandwidth is presented. The post-matching structure and low-order impedance transformation networks (ITN) are employed to achieve the broadband performance. Meanwhile, different drain biases on the main and peaking devices are used to run the asymmetric operation. The proposed ADPA shows high-efficiency performance at 8–9 dB output power back-off (OBO) throughout the whole 800 MHz band. The ADPA has been designed and implemented using commercial GaN HEMTs to validate the OBO and broadband characteristics. Maximum output power ranges from 43.7 to 45.2 dBm, 50.4%-56.2% efficiencies at 8–9 dB OBO are measured from 1.55 to 2.35 GHz.
