Abstract
This paper presents the design of a concurrent tri-band Doherty Power Amplifier (DPA) for 1.84 GHz, 2.14 GHz and 2.65 GHz frequency bands. The frequency response around each operating band is maximally flattened adopting a new design strategy. The DPA is based on hybrid technology using two 8 W GaN HEMT as active devices. The results show a peak of drain efficiency higher than 60 % in each operating band and over 45 % at the corresponding 6 dB output power back-off (OBO). Finally, more than 200 MHz of bandwidth is achieved around each operating frequency.
