Design and Simulation of An Improved Doherty Power Amplifier

摘要

This work presents theory, design and simulation of an improved power amplifier based on the Doherty topology. It is theoretically shown that, by using multiple iterations of the source-pull and the load-pull in the platform of ADS with a Doherty power amplifier topology, the proposed amplifier can provide higher efficiency both at full output power and at back-off power, thus validating practical effects of the design and demonstrating a promising prospect of the design to be used in the future wireless transmitter applications.
