摘要
研制了一种用于2.5GHz频段的40W GaN HEMT Doherty功率放大器。Doherty PA采用大信号GaN HEMT模型设计,饱和输出功率为54dBm (250W),漏极效率超过60%。测量结果与大信号仿真结果吻合较好。我们还研究了数字预失真(DPD)系统的Doherty PA线性度,在64QAM调制信号的平均输出功率为46dBm (40W)时,漏极效率为48%,ACLR为-53dBc,功率增益为13.4dB。这些优越的性能显示出良好的适用于2.5GHz频段WiMAX基站。
A 40W GaN HEMT Doherty Power Amplifier with 48% Efficiency for WiMAX Applications
A 40W GaN HEMT Doherty power amplifier (PA) for 2.5GHz band was developed. The Doherty PA was designed using large signal GaN HEMT models, and demonstrated a saturation output power of 54dBm (250W) and a drain efficiency of more than 60%. The measurement result shows good agreement with the large signal simulation result. We also investigated the Doherty PA linearity with digital pre-distortion (DPD) system, and obtained a drain efficiency of 48%, an ACLR of -53dBc and a power gain of 13.4dB at the average output power of 46dBm (40W) with 64QAM modulation signal. These superior performances show good suitability for 2.5GHz band WiMAX base stations.
