Abstract

A fully integrated asymmetric Doherty power amplifier has been developed by using GaN HEMT MMIC technology. To minimize the circuit size, a two-power-level impedance optimization method was applied instead of using a quarter-wavelength transmission line impedance inverter for load modulation in the Doherty amplifier. For this optimization, asymmetric configuration is required to realize optimum impedance conditions. The 4-GHz-band GaN HEMT Doherty amplifier MMIC exhibited a maximum drain efficiency of 56% and a maximum power-added efficiency (PAE) of 53% at 4.3 GHz, with a saturation output power of 36dBm. In addition, PAE of 44% was achieved at 4.2 GHz on a 6-dB output back-off condition.
基于双功率级阻抗优化的全集成非对称Doherty放大器
采用GaN HEMT MMIC技术,研制了一种全集成非对称多尔蒂功率放大器。为了减小电路尺寸,采用双功率级阻抗优化方法代替四分之一波长传输线阻抗逆变器对Doherty放大器进行负载调制。对于这种优化,需要非对称配置来实现最佳阻抗条件。4ghz频段GaN HEMT Doherty放大器MMIC在4.3 GHz时的最大漏极效率为56%,最大功率附加效率(PAE)为53%,饱和输出功率为36dBm。此外,在6db输出回退条件下,在4.2 GHz下可实现44%的PAE。
