Three-stage gallium nitride high electron mobility transistor (GaNHEMT) Doherty power amplifier for high frequency

摘要

A three-stage GaN HEMT Doherty power amplifier for high frequency applications includes: a carrier amplifier; first and second peaking amplifier; a 10-dB power divider configured to divide an input signal to the carrier amplifier and the first and second peaking amplifiers; a first path for controlling input power of the carrier amplifier; and a second path for maintaining an efficiency of 40% or more in an output range of 40 dBm to 50 dBm.
